Paul still in Hospital

We have had a partial diagnosis of a lung collapsing because of fluid between the lung and the sack. They did draw off 21 ounces of fluid but that didn't give the hoped-for results. Paul is still wheezing and coughing being unable to breathe.

Last night at 12:30 am they did more CT scans of the lungs. We still don't have the results of that test.

Paul looks well and sounds bad. He apparently feels pretty good as he gives the nurses a hard time (teasing and joking).

Sunday night he started coughing something up from his lungs and couldn't breathe and doesn't feel safe to go home yet. The nursed think it's bronco spasms and the doctor said something about asthma (adult lung reaction not the usual "born with it" type of asthma. They are still giving him breathing treatments and steroids. Hopefully it will help.
