The chest tube will NOT be removed today. The surgeon wants to come in and perform another TALC procedure Wednesday to try to make sure the lung will be covered completely this time and they have not missed any spots....
so that is scheduled for Wednesday....no idea when the tube will come out. Maybe the day after or Friday. No idea when he will come home...and a nurse told dad this morning she did not want to alarm him but when they pull the chest tube ...that can sometimes cause the lung to collapse again.

Thank you for the update.
Tell him we miss him.
Thanks for your update. I hope you and your mom are getting some rest. This is not an easy time. Prayers are coming your way...for everyone.
Hope all goes well tomorrow! He's been through so much already. Tell him he'd better get well soon as there are a lot of women (and a few men) waiting for him back in blogland!
You are doing a great job in keeping us all informed. I'm sure your parents are very grateful and very proud of you, too!
(((((( HUGS ))))))
Best wishes for him and your family.
Thanks for the update....praying all will be well.
Best wishes for tomorrow, Sounds like Abe is tough as old boots, give him our regards and we will be thinking of him.Also in our prayers, also Patty.
I hope Abraham will get better very soon so that he can be with his family for Christmas. Tell him hello from France. I give him a big hug.
Oh great! If she doesn't want to alarm him she shouldn't tell him! Tell Abe we all miss him. He's the best bird photographer I know! Still remembering you all in prayer.
This is really not an easy time for your Dad and the family. I hope things turn for the better and soon.
Hope for the best outcome, the fans prayers are with you all, thanks for the update, God bless.
Thanks so much Melinda for the update. Once again, we all pray for Abraham. Sounds like the surgeon knows what he's doing and he's doing the least invasive, at least for starters. Do please keep us posted but of course, know we think of you and your family.
Thanks for the updates, hope it all goes well.
I just found out about your dad. I am so sorry. We all love him here in the blogosphere. Please keep us posted and give him our love and well wishes.
Tell him the Birds of Sycamore Canyon are waiting for him!
We're all thinking about your Dad, and all of you. Sending good thoughts and prayers. TF, Blogger in California.
Just wanted you to know that I think and pray for your daddy and your family daily.

Tell him to keep hanging in there -- he's tough -- and we NEED him.
Thanks for keeping us updated.
