So, now we play the waiting game... I'm really bad at this particular game. Daniel is doing well, as far as I can tell. He's had a lot more food and water today than yesterday, and (*warning for the squeamish* - potentially gross parts coming up; skip ahead to the next sentence if you need to) he's been getting stuff out of his nose and coughing stuff up successfully all afternoon and evening. The nurses say this is good, that he's moving the problem out of his lungs. The only real issue (aside from still having a slight wheeze) seems to be that his blood oxygen levels have continued to hover around the low end of OK, which is a problem in that if he needs to be given oxygen again, then we'd have to stay yet another night, which would be pretty bad for team morale. So, please pray that Daniel's blood oxygen levels get back to normal on their own and stay consistent so that we can go home. Also, please pray that there would be no trace of a wheeze, and that he'd be able to breathe normally.
Thank you all so much. We have been amazed at the amount of heartfelt encouragement and support we've been getting. What a blessing, to have such friends and family. Thank you.

Praying for lots of OXYGEN today!!! Hang in there...
Praying that you make it home today!
Did they ever figure out what it actually was? It wasn't pneumonia, was it? Medical mysteries are such a treat...
We love you!
Hang in there!
hey, those oxygen monitors are tricky little dudes. max will get 89 on one reading and 94 two minutes later.
praying that his lungs are clear, any infection gone and all the oxygenation that his body needs.
I know exactly where you are coming from. I hated the waiting game when Alexis was in the hospital, in and out for those few months. Hang in there. I sure hope you guys get to go home tonight! Hospitals are never fun.
