Another Setback

Hi Again
Well, yesterday was a bit dissappointing. In the morning the doctors determined that there was still too much drainage to remove the remaining chest tube. Also there are indications that Karen may have an infection in her lung. They have taken blood and sputum to decide for sure what to do next. Hopefully today she will get the appropriate antibiotics to take care of the infection and the drainage will minimize. Of course all this put the Angiogram on hold. Karen had a pretty tough time receiving this news because she was really looking forward to the apparent progress.
Karen's Mom has been here since Sunday and will be going with me to the Hospital today. A little moral support from Mom will certainly help.
Not much else to say for now , all we can do is be strong for her and pray that she gets a break soon.
Yesterday I got the gadgets to allow Karen to use her laptop in the Hospital so you might be hearing from her soon.
