Mixed Emotions

We have some results from the CT scan. Dr. Cummings said the abdominal fluid has almost totally drained so the tube can be removed (that's good). The left lung will be drained in her room today by someone from radiology (using a sonogram for guidance). The PT number (factor of clotting) is too high at 20 and means she needs four units of plasma today. This could impact the scheduled trachetomy (scheduled for 10:30a tomorrow). The platelets are the same at 110,000 (good); her fever is normal after spiking at 102 in the middle of the night.

We have not spoken with the pulmonologist yet. After we do (later today) we'll know more about the lungs.

Thank you as always for your continued support.

Shorty and Patti

Midwesterners may not do a lot of things the way Southerners do, but one thing they can really do is pray...now that we are back, we are calling on the Iowa prayer teams in joining with us to pray for Lori's healing and for the stength you both need each moment of the day.
