Well, I guess we were too excited for the vacuum to be gone. Rob had to be hooked back up to the vacuum pump for his chest tubes. It turns out that his pneumothorax was getting worse. (At least he can fall asleep to the relaxing sounds of water bubbling. - That is the sound the vacuum pump makes.)
Rob has spent his day sitting in the chair in his room, enjoying a different perpective. He has an amazing view of the Wasatch Mountains (and Costco's parking lot). He is in good spirits and has a little pain (good thing for drugs, right?). He still has his nausea, however, the drugs for that aren't working too well.

I spent the day with Robert today-He looks so much better than before. Gregg came today for a few hours, as he was just coming home from Florida and Tarali came during lunch hour.
Robert sat up in the chair a good deal of the time. (Do you know how hard it is just to 'sit' in a chair?) He ended up getting a little rest before they came to take him for his 1/4 mile treadmill walk.
I took the kids by for an hour after school. They are so cute with their dad.
He is doing well, but I think we all thought the time would go by faster.
I check your blog every day. Just hoping that it won't be much longer until Robert gets to be home where he belongs. Tell him we love him.
