Patience

After his lung collapsed it was a waiting game. Each day they took x-rays in the morning and afternoon to see how his lungs were doing. They took blood every 6 hours and made adjustments to the respirator according to the results. When the results looked good they adjusted the respirator to breathe less for him and when it looked bad they took it back up again. All I could do was sit by his bedside and watch day after day.
