Today started with another migraine, but was much improved with the addition of Imitrex (a migraine medicine) to her drug list. It also looks like minor surgery will be on the agenda for tomorrow. It seems that Lisa is leaking some fluid through her chest tubes that is normally absorbed through her lymphatic system. Obviously, this is causing Lisa discomfort and impeding her progress somewhat. This condition is relatively common and is usually fixed by this surgical procedure (called a chylothorax). Lisa remains in great spirits and is ready to get this hurdle out of way so that she can keep kicking boo-tay! On a more positive note, she walked for a record 17 minutes on the treadmill today! She wants me to pass along many thanks for all the well wishes, prayers, and cards that have been sent her way. p.s. She is able to receive flowers now.
