Sunday evening - Steve is now out of the step-down unit. Trach is healing, R chest tube continues to drain, too, much to be removed. His mind remains sharp. The test for Chylothorax finally came back negative - which is good but there is still the problem with the chest continuing to drain. Anticiapte the physicans will confer on Monday and come up with a plan. He talks when needed but does not have the endurance for a regular conversation.
