Monday

They are talking about taking him to the OR in a few minutes to close him up! The lung Dr's were just here and did a scope on his lungs. It was VERY interesting!! They did find a mucous plug blocking the upper left lobe, which is where he was having problems. They are culturing him for pneumonia. UGH. It seems that the census is closing him is the right thing to do and then they can get more aggressive with the chest PT. He has been febrile all day and night. Ranging from about 38.3 to 39.5. (roughly 101 to 103.5) Joshua of course has been awake almost all day and hard to sedate. He has a TON of drugs on board and is still trying to fight it and look around. Stubborn boy.....
