Well, the afternoon started off nicely with Lisa resting better and taking a little stroll in the hall. She did a most excellent job and her O2 Sat's stayed @ 97% the entire time. At around 6:30, Dr. Meyers came in to talk to her about the amount of drainage that she was still having in some of her chest tubes. He wanted to try a little experiment. She was allowed to eat high fat, dairy food throughout the evening and night and they would evaluate the color of her tube drainage and decide what the next step would be to remedy this problem. I immediately ran over to Dairy Queen to get several high fat, dairy concoctions - just what the doctor ordered! On a side note, the blog entry entitled "A Quiet Afternoon" was inadvertently erased in all the excitement! So, this morning she was cut off from her diet and her doctor plans to do a procedure to patch up this troublesome spot. He's hoping to do this procedure laproscopic and spare Lisa the pain of another big incision. Will keep you posted.
Also, while your doing your praying, please remember Lisa's sister Renee whose having some complications from her appendectomy from a few weeks ago. There she goes again, trying to steal Lisa's thunder! Hang in there, Nay Nay!
