The CT was just completed, not a lot of details back yet (specifically, how much fluid is in the plural cavity), but they are repositioning the chest tube, straightening it out and pushing it further back towards the fluid.
Technically they are replacing the tube, but my understanding (i.e., this is what the radiologist nurse just said) is that this is simply for sterile reasons.
I'll update when the doctor hunts me down (Mary Ann is getting some rest, so it's up to me to track these things for the moment.)

What a shock it was to receive all the emails requesting prayer for TJ earlier this week! You can be assured that there was an immediate flood of prayers going up to our heavenly Father for you ALL! Thanks so much for the blog which keeps us informed. Mary Ann, we pray that your wonderful, godly husband will be fully restored to you, and SOON. Jon and Chip, you have never met me, but I feel I know you from joining in prayer with your dad for your family over the years. We pray for strength for you two as well, and wisdom to know how to spend each moment of this trying time.
Oh,God, our Father, please mend his body and give him rest and healing!
In Christ,
Cora Jean (and Jerry) Leenheer
"Desperately Needed - ONE HEALED HEART" is the prayer request that I sent out for TJ. This is the response from a saint in CB,IA. He wrote, "I will agree with you and other saints for TJ's healing. I stand in faith, in believing for his complete healing from the touch of God's hand that is upon him. I pray that God's healing oil would flow through his body and cleanse every part of his body. Because it's by the Blood of Jesus that we are already healed, and it's all for God's glory. Mark 11:23,24 Psalm 103:2-4 Isaiah 53:4-5
