Tim got to leave the hospital on Monday May 9. What a wonderful yet strrange feeling. Going home sounded great, but I was scared at the same time. Will he be all right at home? He did great Monday night and all day Tuesday. Then Wednesday afternoon/evening he started to get increased chest pain and it was hard for him to take a deep breath. I wanted to bring him back to the hospital but tim refused. He went to see the Dr Thursday to see the surgeon. He got a good report from him but we were still concerned about all the pain. Blood work cam back not so great. Tim had a CT scan Friday morning that showed his belly infection was finally starting to go away. There was a substantial amount of fluid on the right side of his lungs. This is what was causing all of his pain. So Friday afternoon he had to have a procedure to remove the fluid. They pulled a liter of fluid off form his right lung. While the pain is not as bad its still there. The bottom of his lung is not inflating fully and it still hurts to breath. He is taking it easy and will go for more testing on Monday.
I feel so helpless in this situation. There is nothing I can do to help with his pain. I continue to pray. God answers prayers. I am very thankful that Tim is still here with us. I know every day he will get stronger and continue to heal. Thank God for all the wonderful things in my life. May he continue to bless and strengthen our family.
