Quick Update

Owen continues to slowly drain Kile out of his drainage tube...but it is getting to be less drainage everyday. I'm optimistic that we will be rid of that tube soon enough. He wants NOTHING to do with the vivonex formula by mouth so we're not pushing the issue. He has been spiking random temps over the last few days and his white blood count has been all over the place, so they started him on antibiotics, just to be cautious. All the blood cultures have come back negative for infection, but you never know where something might be starting.

They have completely taken him off of his Milrinone (heart med) and so now he has no more IV drips...yeah! We are still weary of his heart function and can't wait to see another echo in a few days to see where the function is. When you have a heart baby, you take things one day at a time. No mention of discharge yet...I always tell myself.... don't expect anything and then one day we'll just be surprised!! :)
