afternoon update

Athan has continued to rest better today. There has been some concern about him keeping his oxygen saturation up high enough, so they took a chest X-ray to check for fluid build-up. There is some fluid on his left side, so we are doing what we can to help him clear that out. Mostly, that means patting him on the back to knock it loose, and praying that he will cough often and effectively. The respiration therapist told Grammy to “beat the snot out of him,” which Grammy was a bit hesitant to do! :) She is patting away, though, and Athan is happily snoozing with her right now.
