Nick is in a little bit more pain today, But still doing good. First thing this morning around 9:00 physical therapy came to work on him. That is very difficult, and painful. They have him just sitting up and using his arm muscles.They have to support his legs so he doesn't slide out of the bed. It is so hard to watch, but he is a tough kid.
Just when he thought he was going to be able to rest the respitory therapist came in to work on his coughing. They have to use a cough assist machine on him that forces him to cough. We have to keep those lungs a moving so he doesn't end up with pnemonia.
He will be getting the chest tube removed today. YEAH!
The room he is in has a big window so he is able to get lots of sunshine. It also looks out over the Salt Lake Valley, and over Primary Childrens Hospital. So I guess Doyle and I are enjoying the view more than Nick is.
We are so greatful for everything everyone is doing at home. We love you all. Thank you.
He is a tough kid. He will be great
