As we wrap up another day here at LPCH (Lucille Packard Children's Hospital), we seem to be no closer then before, on a fix for Luke's lung. The surgical "dream team" visited with us today and scratched their heads when they saw that the leak was not healing. They even questioned the equipment, but once they tested it, they confirmed that it was in working order.
They said that we just have to wait it out. They don't want to go back into his chest right away, and they will if they have to, but that will have to wait for now.
In the meantime, he is trying to manage the pain with lots of dilaudid and some benadryl to help with itching and lack of sleep.
He enjoyed the visits today from his friends and even managed to check his facebook a time or two.

Luke,
I am so impressed with your strength and although times are tough right now, I've never known anyone to have so many wonderful and lovely friends by your side. I wish I could be there, but do know that there are MANY prayers and well wishes from so many people in Florida. You are very much loved here in the sunshine state and can't wait until you can visit. We can go to the beach and amusement parks for a new experience! Much love, David
