Another small set back this morning. Eric's lung has collapsed (spontaneous pneumothorax). This was caused by the pneumonia. They will insert a chest tube shortly to relieve the pressure and allow the lung to re-expand. He's oxygenating well though which is positive and has no fever. My poor baby. He can't focus on the neurological issues for dealing with all of this other things. They have him sedated so he's resting...

Hi Rhonda,
This is from Tim and Kathie Wilkinson at Mt. Sylvan UMC. You and Eric visited Tim's Sunday School class several times. I am the Minister of Music at Mt. Sylvan. I have taken Garrett on several children's activities - the zoo and Paint the Earth most recently, and teach Erica music and chapel at the preschool. We are checking for updates several times a day and thinking and praying for all of you. May God use the medical professionals to bring Eric back to health and sustain you with God's love and grace as you wait.
