We Did It!

We went to the doctor on the 30th and Seth seemed to be doing better so we were optimistic about the results but still aware of the very real posibility that we may still need to be admitted and his lungs "scrapped". So he was first weighed and he had gained about three pounds so of course we were estatic, then he did his PFT's and came out with a record high of 110%. I didn't even know that was possible!!! He has never blown higher than the mid 80's, and considering his prior perminant damage I never even hoped for numbers that high! We then went and took the x-rays and they sent us home saying they'd call with the results. I heard back from them Monday 2nd and they said things looked much better that the lung had expanded back out substationally but there were some streaks left on the x-ray that we still need to work on clearing out through huffing.
I've just got to add that my little soldier has been so tough and understanding through all this I just can't get over how special he is, I just couldn't imagine going through all this without his beautiful spirit.
