Theo Update #4

Baby update #4

So we had the nurse write down the big fancy name of the thing about the air in his chest.  He had a case of pneumothorax.  He also had a case of pneumomediastinum.  Essentially at some point in the first few minutes of birth, there was a hole (or holes) in his lung that allowed air to escape into his chest cavity.  The air gets trapped there and makes it difficult for the lungs to fill up and so he can't breathe very well.  This leads to low oxygen absorption and such.  However, within an hour of his birth he was breathing room air just fine and didn't need extra oxygen.  This means the holes must have sealed and the air bubbles in his chest must be getting smaller.
