Thomas' drain came out this mornin wen he was in the playground. Paul acted quickly and got him straight back 2the ward. He said he didn't cry initially but then got upset. He's had an xray and all is ok. They're doing another one tomorro 2see if any fluid has collected. If so they will hav to put another drain in. Doc said our lungs produce abt 20mls of fluid an hour but 18/19 mls get re absorbed. Sometimes wen drains are in for a long time it comes out the drain cos that's the easiest route of exit. Plus the drain itself will irritate and produce a bit of fluid cos it's a foreign body. We hav to hope and pray now the drain has gone Thomas' lungs finally start absorbing all of the fluid. It will feel like a real kick in the teeth if he has to hav one back in now. Please keep everything crossed for our little boy.
