Well, the chest tube in your right lung came out today, but now there is one in your left lung. They say this is a common occurance with preemies..... but you sure gave us a scare because mom and dad aren't used to all of this stuff yet. On a more positive note......Dr. Bermudez looked at your scan and said it was better! Not sure if you will need a shunt or not...just have to wait and see. OT came today and fixed your positioning and your awesome nurse Jennifer sent a picture to us of you having tummy time (before the left lung pneumothorax). She said you really liked it.It's really crazy because you are so fragile that it seems like we wouldn't want to move you, but you need to be moved for alot of different reasons. It is a balancing act every day, but these doctors and nurses and staff are very good. Plus God is watching. Mommy is learning valuable lessons in trust and patience. I really hated leaving you tonight after all of this excitement, but nurse Debbie said she was staying right beside you and all your vital signs are stable. You are still on the regular vent!Your aunt Steph and uncle Jake came to check on you too! We love you!
