After the initial drainage of 55 mLs the day of the chest tube switch, Harper had an additional 50+mLs removed the following day. The chest X-ray now looks very clear and she is much happier, with exception of her hunger.
Now the plan is to make sure there is little to no drainage for a couple of days along with no build up of fluid that the chest tube is not reaching.
If that is the case come Monday, then we may try to feed again and see how things go from there.
This plan may change today based on the X-ray today, so let's keep our fingers crossed.
