We woke up with hopes of possibly going home.... but found another lung X ray with fluid. During the morning rounds everyone was fairly confident she has been doing so well that if her x ray was clear she should go home. She has begun eating well, accepting the fluids we insist she drink, taking her orally meds (lots of them even though they tast yucky!) in great spirits, playing, walking and then came the disappointment about mid day after her x ray......you'll be staying at least another day. She keeps asking to go home and I love she loves her home and it makes me sad I have to tell her not today, maybe tomorrow, maybe not. Please pray for her lungs to clear tonight with the help of some changed meds. If they do not, she will have another drain tube put back in tomorrow which will keep us here for another few days at a minimum. :( As disheartening as this sounds, I am so thankful for the team of Doctors and nurses working with her. Thankful we have healthcare, thankful she is home with a family to support her, she is safe and so loved and in good hands. Thankful God is in control of this entire situation.
