Sunday afternoon

Rachel has had a fever (102) all day today and despite having had the breathing tube put back in late last night, the latest chest x-ray (done @ 4:00 a.m.) still showed a considerable amount of fluid build-up.  The surgeon did not think that it was cardiac related but more lung related, however, earlier today he said he couldn't necessarily rule out that it still might be cardiac related.  Waiting on blood/urine/and sputum cultures to come back to see whether the fever is due to an infection of some kind.
