Sunday, April 19th~~Larry´s lungs continue to improve and he is doing better with his oxygen each day. He is off the oxygen mask and on a canula during the day and maintaining his oxygen level pretty well. He was unable to go without the drain when they lowered the drainage amount, so they will be putting in a permanent shunt sometime in the next couple of days. I felt he had his best day so far today and it was so calming. We are ready to start a new week and move to the next steps of Larry`s recovery.
