The pulmonary team has officially taken Luke as their patient. He previously was on a general pediatric team. They still want him on 100% oxygen but we can wean his flow down. His nurse today just changed him to a regular nasal cannula an he is on 1 1/2 liters of oxygen!! When I came in today he was just playing away so I know he is feeling better. His pneumothorax is about the same today so we will still wait and see if anything else needs to be done. The echo-cardiogram has already been done and we are waiting to hear the results of that. The test for the cystic fibrosis will be in a couple days as he has to be off some of his medicines before they can do it. My dad (Dennis) was here when the attending came in and asked him about the CF test. The attending said that we shouldn't worry because he likes to test ALL children that are one and under that have come in with severe resp distress. So it is more of a rule out than a suspicion. It eases my mind a little but it still worries me. They may transfer Luke to a regular floor today or tomorrow which would be a step in the right direction! Keep praying as we know from many experiences that prayer works!--------R
