Another Good Day (day 38)

Taylor had another good day today — Praise the Lord!! She had an x-ray around 4am, which looked good, so the doctor turned off the suction for her chest tube around 10am, and then repeated the x-ray around 4pm. When they read the second x-ray they said it looked even better than the earlier one — YEAH!! He said the plan for the weekend will be to clamp her tube Saturday morning as long as everything continues to go well through the night and then do another x-ray either Saturday evening or Sunday and as long as everything still looks good they will take the tube out then. He still told me not to get ahead of myself when he could tell I wanted to ask all sorts of questions about what that means for next week, he said we will talk again Monday after we see how the weekend actually goes. We are very hopeful for a good weekend and for the chest tube to come out. We are praising the Lord for his healing hand upon our little Taylor.
