Some more info. . .

Surgery is done. It was suppose to take 45 minutes but it ended up taking 1 1/2 hours because there was so much fluid and other stuff in his lungs. He is in a lot of pain and has two incisions along with a bunch of tubes to give him drugs in also to let stuff drain out of him. The tubes won't be out for another 5 days and the doctor said the next three days will be very painful. He is still pretty swollen from the surgery but hopefully things will start to get better. The doctor said he was beyond severe pneumonia (which is what he had when he got to the Egyptian hospital) and had progressed to complex pneumonia which is the worst possible to have.
