Update for Sunday, May 4th. . .

All numbers from Tyler's blood draw from yesterday came back in the 'normal' range! WOOT! He's been getting a daily chest xray each morning and they seem to be improving... another WOOT! The Chylothorax is completely under control now (not gone, just under control) after a day and a half of being on the Portagen... so CV surgery nurse, Lisa Laddish, pulled his Blake drain today! Last WOOT! The drainage coming from his chest had slowed enough and cleared enough that she said it was time.

He isn't in as much pain since it was removed and he's been so happy again today. What a trooper! No word yet on when we'll be able to come home, I think it's just a matter of time now to monitor daily chest xrays and find enough Portagen formula to send us home with until we can make the $$$ purchase ourselves.

Thanks for all the support! It's been a blessing to know he has a bunch of people praying and has really given me reason to smile when he has those 'bad days'...
