Ian handled the bronchoscopy went well today. The doctors did not get a much gunk as they were hoping. There did not seem to be any major plugs like they were hoping. While doing the bronchoscopy, they did a test to see what his lungs could handle by playing with the vent settings. This did show that when the settings were lowered Ian's left lung did seem to start to collapse and when the settings were raised his lung seemed to function better. While in our guts, we know what this means, we have not had any formal conversations with doctors, we don't know what this means or where we go from here.....everyone have a good night. I am off to sit with Ian and watch a movie.... 

Who does he look like? This was not planned, it was done by the nurse.
