Yesterday the chest tube continued to drain and drain! You could tell it made a huge difference for Bobby. He no longer requires oxygen and his blood oxygen saturations are now between 92-95% all on his own! It is so exciting to see. He is struggling with pain so we are still trying to manage it better. He will feel even better once they can remove the chest tube. This will happen once he stops draining fluid and will bring us even closer to getting out of here. But for right now we are just happy that he is feeling better. He woke up at 4:30 this morning ready to play in the playroom and eat pizza. He really is only playing a little, but that is a huge change from not even wanting to look at a toy. So today we pray for the drainage to slow, better pain management, and continued loss of fluid (he looks a little puffy). Thank you again for all you do! Praise God for his blessings.

P.S. The chest x-ray looked great this morning...so much better than yesterday!
