Bronchoscopies

That's Dr. Rubin in the black shirt in the foreground.

Thanks for the prayers...Nicholas' 4:00 am x-ray showed that his pig bronchus which had previously been collapsed had popped open during the night. The doctors were very impressed at how good his film looked.

Dr. Rubin conducted the bronchoscopy this morning and was very pleased with what he saw. In fact, when he was through he said, "Congratulations, you're going to Busch Gardens." Of course we are a long away from that being reality but it certainly sounds as if we have gotten over the hurdle.

We are still awaiting the doctors to make their rounds, but the rumor is that they may try to extubate his vent at some point today. More to come...and keep up the prayers.
