It's a little after 9:00, and Brian just left. We've seen a little progress today. The nurse tonight said Ian's lungs sound much better now than when she started her shift at 4:00 or so, and he at some Fritos- his favorite! We would continually hold the oxygen mask close to his mouth, and put it over his mouth in between a chip and a drink. Getting him to eat and drink was quite a relief- even if it was just a little!
It's 10:30, and we just gave several meds and did a breathing treatment, so I'm going to try to sleep until they come back in at midnight. Hopefully, we'll see significant progress tomorrow. They're giving Ian an antibiotic to help kill the bacteria in his lungs, so maybe that will do the trick. We definitely won't be going home tomorrow but I'm sure hoping we can go Sunday. We're doing a lung x-ray in the morning. 'Til then- Leah
