Early Thursday ( July 1, 2010) the doctor moved Trish's chest tube to a water seal so she could walk around, which she did on several 20 minutes jaunts.
There were a few near nauseous episodes but all were addressed. Today however is the big day. Chest tube comes out this a.m. with an immediate chest x-ray followed by another in 4 hours. Later today if all goes well, out comes catheter, epidural , etc. and if all goes according to plan she will get to go home TONIGHT. She is very excited about a 3 plus hour car ride home…
This could not have gone any quicker unless she had not had surgery.
Thank you all for your support. Though already long, the journey is really just getting out of the driveway. Your thoughts, prayers and continue friendship are vital for the desired outcome.
Prayers sent up for a safe journey home! Trish will be on my daily prayer request. :)
