last day of week

it is friday and once again the hospital is winding down only to come back on monday in full force. we had lots of rain yesterday. cara's running stitches ( zig zag around her chest wound ) were removed by a surgeon yesterday and that hurt quite a bit. she had sushi though last night and that cheered her up. the daily movie also does. still difficult getting her to walk more, but she needs to do that to get rid of fluids. the chest drainage is up a bit from yesterday but the general pattern seems to be one of slowing down, although very slowly. so we wish you all a nice weekend, enjoy and make the most of it!
