A good day so far

Crew is having a good day so far today.  His oxygen requirements are down to 39% . . . yeah!!  Chest tubes are still working well.  HR has been in a normal sinus rhythm around 115 since 9pm last night . . . keeping our fingers crossed.  He's putting out a bit more urine today, but still has a lot to go.  Poor little guy has gained over a pound of fluid since he was born.  His weight today was 5 pounds 10 ounces.  So, he probably has about 2 pounds of extra fluid on board right now.  Needless to say, he's puffing up like a balloon.  But, he'll soon pee all that fluid off.  Keep your prayers coming!

His proud papa spends hours at his bed side.
