Doug is with his Dad @ the hospital and I am having some stress-relief time. He just called and said that they had just completed the placement of a chest drainage tube and had removed over 1200cc fluid (over a quart). His breathing is much better and the oxygen has been removed. His oxygen level is now 96. The atrial fib is gone and his heart rhythm is regular. He was able to get about 6 hours sleep last night, even though it was not uninterrupted.
We have been assured that this is not unusual for those having the procedures that Lee had. Some have the complications early and some several months later. We are grateful for the proximity of Duke at this time. I am hoping and praying that Lee will be able to get back enough strength to resume the fight he continues to have before him. I will get more information to you later today or tonight............................Brenda
