I am happy that things finally seem to be looking up, but I won't breathe easy until he is home, and even then I will probably be nervous for a while.
His output on the left side has only increased 10 mL in 48 hours! Perfect. Our bodies do make a small amount of fluid in the chest cavity regularly, so 10 mL is normal.
His output on the right side is still a bit too high (100 mL in 48 hours), but it's much better than it was. So I'm just hoping that it continues decreasing.
The nurse just told me that when he wakes up from his nap, I can try feeding him! The nasty formula, but still. I am a bit nervous though because this will also test whether his output increases with feedings. Please let him take the formula and not have any increased output. Please. Please!
Fingers crossed.
