No News Is Good News
Sorry for not posting yesterday. We had a VBS closing program to attend at our church in the evening and didn't have the energy to post after that. There was really very little to report apart from fluctuations in the continuing chyle leak. On Friday, Peter put out about one liter of fluid (1,000 ml), which is very much. This afternoon, his right drainage tube was producing very little or nothing, while he had produced about 350 ml on the left by 2pm, so everyone is hoping that he will put out less than Friday. They are tweaking his ventilator to try and fight the chyle leak. Doctors and nurses are overall fairly satisfied with his health apart from the fluid drainage. His chest X-rays look better and so does his blood pressure and just general looks. Let's pray that some real progress can be made soon. It is a wearying process.

We are visiting the Boylans this week so send you some soft, North Carolina breezes...we will keep including you in our prayers, both of thanksgiving for the procedures going well, and for continued healing and strengthening, for Peter and for all of you. He really is a beutiful little guy!
