Wednesday Night
Well those of you who know me well know that if I ddin't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all! I apparently get that from my mom b/c she has had one complication after another. The doctor has no idea what caused all of the bleeding this morning from the site of the chest tube. The most recent X-ray shows "hazing" in the chest wall, assumably blood. It also shows a small area of collapse at the top of the lung. They will continue to take x-rays and evaluate that situation. If it gets worse she'll need another chest tube. That is really the last thing she can handle right now so we need to pray extra hard for that not to happen! Her discomfort is being managed by Dolores.....but it seems to increase her confusion. She has been sleeping most of the day, although she is restless and unable to find a comfy position for long. She will be getting a unit of blood tonight to counteract what she lost earlier today and all of the blood that they keep taking. I am trying my hardest to be positive for her, but seeing her like this is so emotionally draining. Please continue to pray for her health and strength and the strength of my sisters and I.....we appreciate it so much.
