Today is about tubes and weenies!
It has been 24 hours since my first meal and through breakfast, lunch, and dinner the fluid levels and the fluid color draining from my chest tubes is consistent and clear. We are optimistic that this episode is winding down. Today (1/7) I will meet with Dr. Ross and his team at the James for some imaging of my chest, the removal of my chest tubes, and to ween me off the nutritional IV.
