sunday

hi all. the chest tube drainage was down to 34, so we are tentatively hopeful that the rate of drainage is decreasing. we just had the team here and the surgeon ( dr. michael shillingford ) who has operated on her and we are discussing various possibilities. he had different draining values altogether now so i requested that they consult with dr. hanley to get it from the horse's mouth, so hopefully by tomorrow we should have an answer. they really just want to make sure that she is not filling up on her fluids in the chest cavity before sending her home back into the bush. so her spirits are better as she is begging us to watch movies again and she hast started doing a cat puzzle of 300 pieces. she does not like all the many people and and there are only very few of the personel that she talks to ( such a little snobby ). so today we will have the lewis family come again and they should be here soon. Bye...
