Thomas drained 70mls in the end yesterday. Docs were happy this mornin. Said the drain being in creates a bit of fluid so it doesn't hav to stop completely but they hav to weigh up wen they thk the best time is. You certainly don't want one being taken out too early. This afternoon the fluid looks more milky which could mean chylothorax - fat in the fluid. It's a consequence of cardiac surgery and means. If this is the case Thomas would hav to go on a special fat free diet for 6 wks. Not ideal esp wen he has lost weight following the surgery. We get the results in 2 days. Fingers crossed it's not chylothorax. Thomas is fine and dandy in himself. Callum has gone on home leave and Luke had his op today so he'll miss his mates. Doing so well bless him x--
