Sunday update

They want West to be seen everyday until he turns the corner so we went into Peds Plus today at St. Francis, I highly recommend them as the care that we got was great!
Dr. Ward saw West and said that he sounded pretty good and that we were doing really well with him, to be sure he did order a chest xray. The xray came back that he has a spot on his right lung called a , "Atelectasis". From what I understand this is a part of his lung that has trapped some air and makes it hard to move air through there, hence the wheezing. Not dangerous unless he gets sicker which could indicate that the aveloi around there may be collapsing? Over all he said keep doing what we are doing and head in to see Dr. Hutton in the am- West was great, just slept and nursed the whole time, was a bit sad with the xray but can't blame him for that. I can't say again how thankful I am for all of you who are praying for West! We'll update tomorrow, his appointment is at 9am- Have a great ( Windy...) Sunday:) Brittan
