Chest Tube!!!!!
The pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon is going to insert a chest tube into Errol's lungs tomorrow morning. Luckily, Errol will be asleep.
Poor Errol has had to endure a marathon battery of x-rays, ultrasounds, and Echos, a late night peripheral iv insertion, and an early morning rethreading of his PICC line (not for the faint of heart.) It's hard enough to watch, you can imagine how hard it would be to endure.
Hopefully, the chest tube will clear up Errol's lungs once and for all and we'll stay out of the hospital for at least the rest of the year.
Errol is incredibly brave. Think of him around 10:00 tomorrow morning.

Go Errol Go!
My prayers are there.
I know Little Man will be smiling away when he awakes tomorrow after surgery.
Of course, you know he'll want to play with the tube :)
Mr. Errol: Received your memo of yesterday--don't worry, sir, I'm following the Tiger Woods scandal closely and will have a full report and clippings file ready for you upon your healthy return home. --mpw
