It turns out that the PAs up 'til now have been a little optimistic.
They had to put the suction back on the chest tube and it will
probably be 4-5 more days before he gets the OK to go home. Apparently
this is average for the chest tube, but the PAs before hadn't been
completely upfront with us about the process.

So it's going to be a bit longer before we can get him home and
sleeping in his own bed.
