Chris had a rough night. This morning when I called, his nurse said he was struggling with his breathing so they put him back on Bi-Pap during the night. When Carolyn and I go to the hospital at 9am his room was full of personnel. Dr. Wan (Puga's associate) stepped out to explain to us that Chris had a mucus plug in his left lung which caused the lung to collapse. To help with the collapsed lung, they had to put him back on the ventilator and start some of the IV medications. Because they were still working on him, (chest x-rays and such) Carolyn and I returned to the waiting room. I'll go back in a little bit and talk to the nurse to see what the plan is now. Three steps forward and one step back-We will get over this bump in the road just as we have the others. Please keep Chris in you thoughts and prayers today. Thanks. Mary Jo

BTW-Carolyn and I did go out to lunch and shopping yesterday afternoon for several hours-There is a little strip mall close to the hospital-two really neat stores.
