Luke's lung is continuing its struggle to completely re-inflate. We just met with one of the surgeons again, and here is the update. They will be increasing the suction on the chest tube, which may help to inflate the top of the lung. If not, they will most likely need to put in a second chest tube in the upper front section, so that it can access the top of the lung better. This may be able to be done bedside, otherwise it's back to the O.R.
They've up'ed his pain meds so he is a bit more comfortable for now.
