Lee had a good night't sleep and I believe is ready for the challenges of this day. As I was talking to him he was preparing to go for a chest x-ray. His days begin very early! The cardiac team had already been in to talk to him and they told him that his heart was doing very well and his hert rhythm was normal. They were discharging him from their service unless the pulmonary team of doctors saw a reason otherwise. That is good news since it means that his heart has recovered from all the problems he had previously.
I suppose what happens next will be determined by the chest x-ray........whether to remove the chest tube that is in and/or put another in if there is still a pocket of fluid around the lung. I'm praying the fluid is gone or will be gone and that we can move toward his getting out of the hospital soon.
I will let you know their decision whenever I get the report later today.

I'm thinking of you guys today - tell Lee that whether they put in another tube we are going to kick this thing and get outta there! If it's another tube I know he can get over that hurdle too! Hard, but I know he can!! We love you!
