A better day...

This update will be short since we're going to try to get some decent rest tonight!

Nate had a good last night. He slept soundly until 4:00AM when they had to do some lab work on him. He finally fell back asleep by 6:00AM and slept until almost 11:00AM!

This morning's chest x-ray showed some slight improvements. It appears that the mucus plug is gone and that the lung is beginning to slowly re-inflate since it was not as "white" as it was on Sunday. He still has diminished airflow in & out of the lung but we are extremely glad to see any improvement in his x-ray. The right lung has some "haziness" to it so we'll keep an eye on that side and hope that it does not turn into a problem.

He was in a pretty good mood most of the day...a little cranky around 6:00PM when he just wanted to be left alone. Jennifer, Hal and I stood at the door talking and just kinda "ignored" him for a little while. He quit fussing and was quite happy just watching us and the nurses at the Nurses' Station for a while.

No major episodes so all in all it was a better day....
