Dr. Rouse confirmed that the fluid in the left lung was minimal, and nothing worrisome. They are continuing to treat the atelectasis (see prev post for definition) and he seems to be responding, since today's xray showed continued improvement. He put out a little more yesterday from the right chest tube, so they want to delay the tube feeds. So far today, Shannon (his nurse) says she has gotten out almost nothing, so hopefully soon!
One other note: Saturday night we got a call from the front office at the RMH that we had mail. We read the note to discover a police officer from IMPD (Indianapolis Metro Police Dept) named Julie (she has blogged some comments for us) and her husband, retired from IPD, had left the card with a Papa John's gift card. We have been so touched and almost overwhelmed with the cards and gift cards we have received - this was the first from someone we had never even met before. No contact information was left so this last statement is to Julie and her husband: Thank you so much, it really meant a lot to us!
Happy Birthday Gabriel!

Josh & Peg,
We are so glad we made the stop to see you and little Gabe Saturday. What a cutie and a precious sight to see Josh cuddling with him. We're praying for positive steps from this day forward to get this little fellow home!!!
Love, Doris & Jerry
Josh and Peg,
You are more than welcome for the gift card. We continue to pray for Gabriel and the family I know that he'll be going home to soon! God is so good and loves us so much! Thank you for the opportunity to bless you!
Julie and Randy
