Hi all, really quick update: Thursday's number was 16cc. Today is very minimal too. Chest x-rays reveal that Ty's lungs are "prestine" (very clear.) Instead of pulling the JP and weaning him off steroids, they've decided to stop steroids abruptly (perfectly safe since he's only been on them for one week.) Then if there is no re accumulation of fluid between now and Monday, we go back to Sick Kids on Monday for a tube pull. It's better to err on the side of caution, because if the JP gets pulled too early and the fluid re accumulates, having to reinsert a chest tube is a HUGE step backwards, and would be very painful for Tyson (and us!)
We are happy with this decision. A prestine x-ray is waaaay more important at this time than a JP pull :) It means another trip to Sick Kids, but at least we'll be confident that Tyson is ready to be done with the JP for good.
Hope you all have a HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are pretty excited to be celebrating together as a family :)
GOD IS GOOD!
