Aunt Maureen called last night, and I have to admit I was expecting bad news. Shows how much trust I have, but it turns out 'all is good'. An x-ray showed that he did not have pneumothorax after all, but there was still some pleural effusion (fluid around the lungs). However, the doctors did not feel it was necessary to put in a chest tube because the amount of fluid was not that severe. Hooray!!! Uncle John's fever also broke the other night, which is so amazing. Well, he (John) has managed to scare us all again, but HE (God) has managed to amaze us once again!
Uncle John also was able to tolerate 3 hours on a CPAP, which is the lowest 'gauge', so to speak, on his ventilator. THANK THE LORD! God promises good things to those who believe, and he never fails to deliver. We should all be so pleased with the results that took place on Uncle John's one month anniversary! Let's continue to lift his spirit up in prayers and support his family through each step along this long road to recovery!!!!!
