Monday morning update

The last chest x-ray (from 4:00 a.m.) showed some improvement in the upper portion of the lungs, however, the bottom portion is still really wet.  So the plan is to add another diuretic to help draw some of the fluid off and have her sit straight up in the bed as much as possible.  The fever has come down a little.  The breathing tube will stay in today although they are shooting to pull out the chest tubes as soon as possible.  Another problem is that she is very restless (I can't imagine why) and she has not had a really good night of sleep.......along with mom and dad.
