Hello. There was not much change today. I sat down with the lung doctor today and had a good look at the cat scans. Everything in his stomach looks good. However, his lungs look terrible. He is only using about 20% of each lung. The infection has scared large portions and there is still a lot of fluid that is not moving. The lungs can heal but it will take maybe months of vents and oxygen for a while after that. They changed all the lines and gave a big dose of antibiotics to get rid of the infection in his blood. If that goes away we will be in a better place. If it does not that means they have to go into the lungs and suck out as much as they can. It is very risky and they are not sure if he can handle that. He has pulled out a few miracles and lets hope he can do one more. He asked if I would bring buddy to visit, so I am going to talk to the nurse and maybe they will allow a short visit. Other than that he seams comfortable and is communicating well. Tomorrow will bring more information, so keep praying! Thank you so much.
