Onward and upward for Tyler. Today we visited him in the afternoon and he was on regular oxygen at one liter/minute. He began taking Heidi's milk at one cc/hour through a nasogastric tube, which is about the volume of game dice. Three of his thoracic drains were removed and his breathing appears normal. He looks great! And he looks really long. He has lost most of his fluid which makes him look very skinny compared to before. Hopefully he'll be able to start eating a little more each day and gain some weight. We enjoy hearing all of your comments on the blog. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Yay! He looks so good! What great news that is! I hope he continues to heal faster and faster! Congratulations again!
We were so happy to see this beautiful pic of Tyler and to know he's on his road to recovery as he starts to eat and look more comfortable. Looking forward to walking the "Heart Walk" tomorrow in support of Tyler and Heather and to visit at the hospital. Love, Mom & Dad
This is so exciting! Thank you for posting daily updates so that we can keep track of Tyler's progress wherever we are (even if it does make me cry in public :)).
Love you guys!
Each and every day he seems to be getting better and stronger. I'm so happy to hear the good news that he is finally able to have some milk. What an amazing journey he has been through and I can't wait to see him tomorrow. Love you guys!

Bravo Tyler, what a special blessing to see him improving every day.
How absolutely wonderful! Tyler looks great - I'm overlooking all those tubes. So happy he was able to have some of Heidi's milk. Each day is a blessing. Thank God for little Tyler. Love to all, Aunt Yvonne
