They just took out the chest tube! They also told him he should be able to get out of the hospital tomorrow morning. So thankful! He is well drugged and very happy to be done with the chest tube.
I knew he would do well! I wondered about the doom and gloom predictions about lung surgery recovery – maybe those were from people who never had osteo limb-sparing surgery, which for me was wayyyy harder. Also, I had 2 drains, lucky for Robbie if he got away with 1. Don’t worry if it looks like a giant hole in his side that ought to have stitches – it will heal up just fine.
OMGosh, WHAT a blessing!!!! Robbie looks elated!! Hooray for all!!
