Thursday, 3/31

Continuing to be true to its word, today the "roller coaster" continued. Yesterday I was so encouraged when I left the hospital. Dinky's lungs were open, it was warm outside, I really did feel hopeful. Today seemed to be just the opposite. When we got there this morning the first thing we learned was that Dinky's lung had collapsed again. They put him back on the "jet", a high frequency ventilator, to try and open it back up. But obviously yesterday was not the magic bullet we were hoping for. Because he was a little unstable he didn't go downstairs for his test. He was very upset when they swiched him to the jet. He was crying (although there's no sound) and really fighting so they had to sedate him quite a bit. It is just so painful to watch. There really are times when I think I just can't do this anymore but then I look at that little fighter and he gives me the strength to go on. Thank you all for your continued support.
