Life in the PICU

Ira got another chest tube today (Saturday). He was having a hard time stabilizing so they took an x-ray and found that air was building up again. The chest tube helped immediately.

Ira started to wake up on Friday morning. I wish you could have seen Sophia's reaction when she realized that Ira was a bit more awake than usual. It was priceless. Later Friday night they decided to knock him back out again because he wasn't handling it well.

It was good for all of us to see him awake even though he was in a drunken stupor.
