Almost there

Kind of a long night- it wasn't bad, just long. Josh went home and I stayed with Jack. He didn't fall asleep till 12:30, then they came in at 1am to give him pain meds. Then he wanted to watch another movie. And at 3am he got more meds, and they took his vitals. At 4:30 he asked for some "pirate cheetos" (Pirate's Booty, thanks Lar) and we munched on those. I fell asleep scratching his back, and at 5 he asked for ANOTHER show. He fell asleep. Then at 5:30, they came in and took some blood (not fun). They took the blood, and and he fell asleep. At 6:00 they came in and said "time for an x-ray" so we loaded up Jack, his 02, and his chest tube tank onto a wheel chair and went back down to the 2nd floor to radiology for an x-ray. Then we came back and fell asleep. At 6:30- the doctors came in and Bonnie said "we're going to take the chest tube out in 20 min".

So-we got about, 10 minutes of sleep.

But better a night of movies than a night of crying and pain filled tossing and turning. He did well.

So the chest tube is out, and we are feeling ALOT more comfortable. Still eating. Bonnie said we will most likely go home tomorrow, unfortunately on oxygen.

If ANYONE has any tips on how to keep a three year-old from tearing his 02 off while he is at home, trying to run around with an oxygen tank....please....share.

Otherwise, he is GREAT, he played with toys last night and even laughed a few times. It's so nice to see he is still in there.
