Well the x-ray last night showed no signs of the air in his chest getting worse, to bad I can not say the same for the one they did this morning. They said it was "significantly worse" than before. They decided to put another chest tube in to remove the air and fluid in his lungs. The surgeon is hoping that this will lower the pressure enough to lower the severe regurgitation he is having in his right heart valve. They will not release him until that changes. If this does not work then they will try some medicine and if that doesn't work then they will do another heart surgery to fix the valve.
They will do an echo cardiogram tomorrow to see if the pressure has been relieved and if the valve is working better. We are just taking it day to day, we actually expected just about everything that has happened to happen.
Thanks for all of your support and kind words.
