Today Tyler looked very good. His skin color has leveled out and his breathing looks great. There are little to no major retraction when he breathes. He ate some from a bottle at every feeding last night and has done well on his eating today. We were able to work with the speech therapist today to have his sucking analyzed. The results were good get tired half way through his feeding so we hope that as he progresses he will get more practice and be able to get to the bottom of his bottle.
His lungs look much dryer today and there is progress on the amount of fluid behind his lungs. We will be anxious to see the next few days progress post SVC clot clearing. This is what we feel has been the root of the fluid build up. He already looks to have significantly less fluid than he had 5 days ago in his Xray.
He got his picc line removed today too because of the possibility of another clot forming. He has a peripheral IV in his arm for the meds right now. Hopefully we won't be here too much longer for him to get it changed too often, but it is a better option than having the clot risk of the picc line.
