One Day Late Oops...

       Sorry I didn't update you guys yesterday Daddy had to work and he had the computer with him all day.  Saturday's x-ray looked worse than the day before so our plans to extubate and start feeds got put on hold.  Sunday's x-rays looked even worse then Saturday's so they had to place a PICC line and an extra chest tube to help drain air and fluid better.  When Monday rolled around they were talking about doing surgery which would cut out some of the scar tissue which was trapping some of the fluid by the lung.  Tuesday not a whole lot changed, but my x-rays did show some improvement.  They did take out one of the chest tubes, it pretty much was in there for no reason after awhile.  Wednesday (today) I'm off of the ventilator!!!  I'm still very groggy and don't really know where I am, but no more tube down my throat.  Hopefully tomorrow or Friday they will take out the other chest tube, but it all depends on tomorrows x-ray.  I will still be here for a  awhile and of course I will tell you when I get to come home.
