Successful Procedures

The chest tubes have been removed from her left side. A drain remains in her right side where the original chest tubes were, but the fluid is not coming from her lungs its coming from surrounding tissues. Hopefully they'll be able to remove the drain soon. They have also removed the oral gastric tube which romoved fluid/acids from her stomach. Now she has no tubes in her mouth! Yeah! She asked for water after removal of that tube and Aaron was able to give her a small sip from a sponge. They don't want her taking in a lot of fluids orally right now, but a sip from the sponge every now and then is okay.

Every small step is such a miracle. It's like watching your child take their first steps! We are so thankful!

Love to all!!
