The story continues

After all the drama from the night before, I went to the NICU to check on Brayden and see how things had changed through the night. When I got there, I met the doctor who had spoken to us the night before. She told me that during the night while they were taking xrays of Brayden's chest they found another hole in his right lung and they had to put a chest tube in his right side. The pnuemo on the right wasn't very big but they went ahead and put in the chest tube as a precaution. She also informed me that he was having some blood pressure issues and that they were goin to sedate him and make him lay still so the ventialtor would do the work for him. He is such a fighter, that he was breathing over the machine and trying to do it all on his own. Here is a picture of what he looked like yesterday morning.
