Sunday at the Hospital

Susie here, I just got home from the hospital. I was happy to be with Beth when she got the good news on her 6PM xray report. The doctor said "good news", the air pocket in the lung looks like it's improved slightly. That is their main concern now, this bit of air that's trapped in the chest cavity. In the best case scenario it will absorb into her body and go away but they need to watch it to be sure it's improving. Beth was quite relieved to hear the news, it's been a stressful day imagining the idea of a new chest drain being inserted, awful. So hopefully the morning xray will bring even more improvements, fingers double crossed. Beth's spirits were up when I left, eager to catch some shut eye before the nurses wake her for one thing or another. They are also continuing to watch her blood cell count as it was low today. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday will be the day she can finally go home.

Thanks to everyone for your love and support, it's wonderful.
