Gus is remaining stable for the most part. He's had some discomfort and mild hypotension over the last few days as our team makes adjustments. His chest drainage has reduced, but increased output from his PD drain suggests there may be some accumulating in his abdomen as a result of blocking the duct in the chest cavity (this was a known possibility). Kidneys are still in poor shape, so we are praying for them to recover -- which in turn could help reduce the drainage overall. He's doing well on CPAP trials (intended to test whether or not he can be extubated). So he could have the ET tube removed within the next week. We're thankful and appreciative for how far he's come. We have a great team of nurses and practitioners here at Norton supporting him on this journey. Thank you for your continued prayers.
