Quick Update...

It's been a while since I updated everyone on how Tucker is, and unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to go into great detail about what is going on. The doctor called Danny about twenty minutes ago and told him that he is going to purposefully collapse Tucker's left lung...it's getting over inflated again and they worry that it could cause it to tear and leak air into his chest cavity. They collapse it by pushing his breathing tube too far down, which pushes it into his right lung and then the ventilator is ventilating only his right lung and not both. They leave it like this for a day to let his lung collapse a little bit, as long as he tolerates it. If he doesn't tolerate it they pull the tube back to where it was before they tried it and I don't know what we do from there...this had been an option a few days ago but his lungs started to look better. This morning however his x ray didn't look very good I guess. I'm about to leave for the hospital but I wanted to update everyone and to ask that you say a prayer that this will go ok, or that something will change and his lungs will look a little better. Thank you for all your support and for reading all of the blogs I post about him...it means a lot to us. I'll update more when I get home...
