Nicholas had a great day today.
Last night be did have a bit of output out of his chest tube (about 35 mL). But today he's only had about 5 mL out. The doctors said his chest x-ray this morning looked great though. The side without the chest tube is actually clear now! He's been pretty happy and smiley all day. He really seems to be feeling a lot better. His heart rate has been down a lot from what it's been, probably because he is feeling better. It's just so good to see him happy.
We tried to give him a bottle today. We put some grape concentrate in the formula and I think it helped. He didn't drink much, but he did drink some (about a 1/2 ounce) and he wasn't gagging or spitting it up or anything. He actually seems to be tolerating the formula much better now. I just hope he really starts eating out of the bottle so we don't have to take him home on the feeding tube.
