Hospital Stay

Susan was admitted to the hospital after visiting with a cardiologist surgeon on Wednesday. They put in a chest tube to help drain the area around the left lung. Once that is all clear and no more draining then the second part of this procedure is to seal off that pocket where the fluid is accumulating. All of it is very uncomfortable. The tube end is in an area of many nerves within the lining of the lung. So it is uncomfortable. Susan will be in the hospital for about 5 days. Pray that this would be successful and have no complications. An update this morning: There is still a pocket of liquid that has not drained properly. So as I type this, Susan is going back into Radiology where the doctors will reposition the tube end and possibly have to put in another tube to help drain the liquid. Pray for the surgeon that the tube would be placed in the right spot so that there is no doubt in the proper drainage of that area.
We are all having a nice time with Nathan. He is finally getting use to the time change (12hr change). I am trying to take Susan to Phoenix, AZ the first weekend in Feb to visit her parents. Pray also that she will be stable and up to traveling. She is so looking forward to that trip.
