So I'm finally at a place where I can update what has been happening. It has been a crazy month. So Hubby is still in the hospital. He has this rare lung infection that is causing fluid build up in his chest cavity and although he is on a very powerful antibiotic it has not been killed off. They have drained most of the fluid when they found that some of the fluid had turned to solid. That's when the talk of surgery started. They did everything they could and it was breaking down. They were going to discuss surgery this past Wednesday when they decided to try one more option. So later that day they put in a larger chest tube and a new small one to help get the fluid out and hoped that it would break down the solid part. Well thank God that worked! They have drained almost all of the fluid and are thinking that he might be able to return home later this week. We will find out more today after the doctors review the CT scan from yesterday.  When all this was going on Monkey d

Just wanted to let all of you know that I'm going to be MIA for awhile. M is in the hospital and has been there since last Saturday. Right now we aren't sure if he will be coming home this week or having surgery. Either way it has been a crazy week of trying to figure things out and we are looking at a month of recovery if he heads home this week or if surgery happens he will have two more weeks in hospital and then two months recovery. Any prayers would be great! We find out tomorrow which way it will go. On top of all this we are having to move because he will be out of work for so long. My parents have offered us  their basement for his recovery and we will probably be here through the birth of Pilot. So far I'm handling all the stress really well and baby its doing great. Not sure when I will be able to update again but I hope to be back to blogging by May. Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.2
