The doctor's just completed their round with Michael.  After reviewing Michael's chest x-ray they realized that his right lung has collapsed.  While scary, this is not an uncommon side effect of open heart surgery. They will continue to and more frequently give Michael chest PT (basically banging on his back to loosen up the congestion) and suctioning (putting a suction tube down his nose to pull out the congestion - not his favorite activity).  They will monitor this closely.

Dr. Q and Rozelle Corda, of the surgical team, came by and said that they were happy with Michael's progress.  They are hoping that Michael will be walking around (with an IV pole in tow) before the end of the day.

Last night Meg talked to Molly, who sang her a song (a hybrid of Barney's "Mister Sun" and Molly's "I-miss-my-mommy-song").  Not to be outdone, baby Tommy decided that he wanted to - over the phone - say "Mama" for the first time, causing Meg to burst into a well-needed cry.  He'll be able to say it in person in no time.

Much love.
