Bobby finally got a new chest tube today around 10:00am. He seems much more comfortable now that the fluid is being drained. This tube seems better at dealing with the clots too...thank goodness! There was some concern over the color of the fluid, but now that they see it draining they are not as worried. Bobby seems more upbeat today, although still recovering from the anesthesia. He has also had some morphine since the tube is painful. They plan to do a chest x-ray later because the lung did not inflate as well as they would have liked once they removed the fluid. I just hope and pray that Bobby can get better now that he is feeling better. I will share more news as I hear it...

P.S. Thank you for all of your prayers today!

We're praying this chest tube continues to drain well and that the color definitely stays away from the dreaded "milky white," that we had with chylothorax. We hope Bobby is feeling better soon and that things continue to move in the right direction.
