It is now Sunday evening and I am still in the hospital. The surgery went okay and an x-ray yesterday showed that the tubes are draining the fluid as hoped. The 3 large drains hanging off of me show that as well.
I now have a private room because I need so much equipment! I am managing the pain well with a pump and feel a little better each day. No talk of going home yet. Need to wait until the fluid has drained. So far, I have drained about 4 L of fluid! No wonder I had trouble breathing!

You're in my thoughts and prayers so often every day. I'm thankful that these drains are giving you some relief. Praying that you'll get to be home soon to enjoy the holidays.

We've been away, but we've been praying for you. (We're home now.) Praying that you are doing better each day. Please let us know if you or the guys need anything at all.
