Update

Emma Kate had a chest tube put in this evening and immediately fluids came out. In all, about 200cc's of Chylus has come out so far. This is a large amount so it is obvious why her breathing had become so labored. Dr. Law will keep the tubes in as long as possible to make sure all gets out before removing. This means we could be in the hospital for a few days.

Since the procedure, Emma Kate has been doing really well. So far, in about two hours, she has had 4-5 ounces of Portagen by mouth and has not refluxed once! Hopefully she will continue this which I know will make her feel better. We are going to try to get some rest tonight and I will update with more news tomorrow. Thanks again for your prayers!
