Tuesday 5pm

They ran a CT scan this afternoon, They did not place a chest tube as they anticipated they would need. There is not a whole lot of effusion (Lung/heart excess fluid) They did place a Nasal Gastric tube for feeding. She will be on the ventilator for at least another day. They ran an arterial line into her left wrist, so they can remove the one in her right groin. Adam told me they are hoping to get her up to walk around - Of course I assumed that meant she would be off the ventilator to do that.... but he quickly corrected me, and let me know they can go for walks on the vent. (Darnit - I just know she would so like to get that out. She asked about Aunt Ev, and also asked about Frank.
