Plural infusions and a move to the floor

Tommy still has his chest tubes draining the plural infusions. A grand total of nearly 600 cc's of fluid has come from his chest. We have learned through tests of that fluid that his lymph system was accidentally cut during the AV canal repair. The lymph system has been oozing fluids (in addition to the fluids that accumulated in his chest due to the inflamation of the surgery itself). So, Tommy now gets a formula that has a different type of fat molecule so it doesn't get secreted into his lymph system and back into his chest. Mommy hasn't told Tommy that his new formula stinks really bad! Hopefully this will help his chest fluids decrease.

We were transfered to the floor ward today. Yippee! Tommy LOVED the ride in his crib. He cooed at most of the ceiling lights on the way from the ICU to his floor room. Once there he had a big grin for grandpa. Both grandma's are here today too and snuggling with Tommy (and of course Liam).
