Mr. P's third day

I think I over did it yesterday between visits and walks to the NICU I was exhausted last night. So today I tried to take it easy. About 7:30 I tripped down to see mr.p. We hung out til around 8 when it was time for yet another chest x-ray. I asked them to please let me know the results when they came back and headed back to my room. I ate breakfast and laid down not expecting to sleep long but ended up taking a long and and much needed nap. When I woke up I called the NICU to check on little mr.p's X-ray results, left lung looks good, right lung still had the tension pneumothorax but it was small. Our dr was consulting with the specialist in Boise to see what the next steps should be.
It was decided to give mr.p some help with his lung development and strengthening. In the process of giving him the meds, silly mr.p pulled out his respiratory tube. The doc and nurses watched for just a minute to see if he would stabilize with out it, unfortunately no, so they put the tube back quickly and no harm was done. The next X-ray of the day was pretty much the same. Left looks good, right still watching. One more bright spot is that he is now breathing what the doc called "room air" meaning he is not needing to receive extra oxygen he is able to pull it out of the air himself, still with aid of the respiratory tube.
Tonight the rest of the kiddos my beautiful sis in law, and the kiddos grandma C came for dinner. It was nice too visit and not nearly as crazy as last night. After they all left I finished the business of being discharged from the hospital and moved into what they call a "family stay room." How blessed I feel that the hospital has this option for me to stay and be close to mr.p as he heals and gets strong enough to go home.
Thank you too all of you who are praying for us I can defiantly feel the strength buoying me up.
