Chest closing!!

They finished closing Atticus' chest. However, we need everyone to send some prayers and healing thoughts our way. His stats look good, however, his blood gas numbers are a little off-so they'll be checking them every hr. If they don't improve, they may have to open his chest back up and wait another day or so to try again.  Also, his platelets have been low and the initial blood culture shows signs of a blood infection. They redrew his blood just to make sure that it wasn't a contaminate from the tubes-full results in a few days. Please pray that he is able to remain closed and that the second set of cultures comes back negative for an infection. On the positive side...he is waking up more often, so we finally get to see his eyes!
