David had a really good night. They were able to turn down his vent settings this morning and he is basically on room air (through the vent, of course).
He does have an infection (WBC's up from 14 to 23, for the nurses). It's possible that it is in the lung, but preliminary results of cultures are not definate. His chest xray, however, looked "pristine" per Dr. G - so that is encouraging. They are watching him super closely for evidence of infection and they are starting antibiotics this morning. Everything else is pretty much status quo from yesterday.
It looks like they are probably going to be able to get everything they need to place the stent tomorrow, so we can be very hopeful for that.
