I am starting to feel like a broken record writing these blog posts. Kelson was feeling good this morning. He had minimal drainage from his new chest tube last night, and was looking good. My sister was back from Ohio this weekend, so she got to see Kelson again. Claire was surprised to see her cousins in the waiting room when she got here this morning. And is getting to spend the day and night with them at my moms house.
This mornings doctor report sounded pretty good, but the doctor wanted to retest the fluid that was drained off the lung yesterday. At about 5 PM the nurse practitioner came to discuss the test results. She said that Kelson would potentially need surgery, and may even need transferred to a different facility. However, when we met with the doctor tonight, he basically told us that it is too early to know what the next step will be.
For now, what we do know is...
The formula change is helping, but is not a long term fix.
They are successfully weaning the ventilator.
We still have a lot of waiting time, and trial and error, but each day brings new joys, and new struggles. Our patience and need for control continue to be tried and tested as we continue to face more and more unknowns. We just need to keep focused on the thought that each day is one more closer to us eventually bringing Kelson home.

Keep your hopes up guys! I know it's hard and it feels like forever until he will come home, but like you said, everyday is one day closer! You can do it! Lean on friends and family, and know that a lot of people are praying for you and your precious little man.
