They decided to do the talc powder in Rob's left lung. What they did was mix talc powder with liquid, then insert it in his chest tube. They are trying to successfully remove the chest tube without anymore problems. Doing this procedure will help that. It helps scar tissue to form making the lung adhere to the chest wall so it will stay open. Once they inserted the talc, every 15 minutes Rob had to move into a different position for two hours. At one point he was angled so that his head was lower than his feet. Surprisingly that looked the most comfortable since he fell asleep.
Rob is having another good day. He hasn't sat in the chair, but moved around quite a bit from the procedure. He was able to have bacon, eggs, hash browns and an english muffin this morning. He didn't eat all of it, but he was so excited to be able to pick and choose what he wanted to eat.
