We still have some work ahead of us! Tests yesterday (12/29) indicated the leak did not heal in this go-around so I am going to continue on the IV diet and no food by mouth for several more days. We will monitor fluid output from my lungs during that period and provided fluid output continues to decline, at some point, we will again try food by mouth to see if the extra time has allowed the leak to heal naturally. As I said before, this is the ideal scenario.
I’m confident the extra time, continued positive thoughts, and the trust in God’s healing hands will resolve this situation.
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. (Psalm 46:1-3 NIV)

Just came out of my crawlspace ( in FT. Collins) stuffing insulation like mad. -14F at 6:40 pm. My favorite http://vimeo.com/87909637. video. It is from Minnesotans for Global Warming. Hang in there it has to get better. So sorry for all you are going through.
My family is praying for you through your journey.
