The lung x-ray came back fine - it didn't show any collapse of his lung or pneumonia or anything bad. It did show that he has a significant amount of air in his upper intestinal track (because the x-rays position caught some of his intestine). They want him to pass the gas and produce a bowel movement.
His reduced breathing when in his left side appears to be pain related. They are going to coordinate rolling him on his left side and when they give him pain medicine so it hurts him less & he keeps his oxygen up.
They gave him a blood thinner to prevent blood clots in his legs and they are considering using a brace on his feet (only on one foot at a time) to prevent "dropped foot" which makes it really hard to stand up after a person has been in bed for a long time.
