Hospital update

Dad here again.

Elizabeth is doing very well. She is still is ICU. She was set to get out of ICU, but she did have a relatively small complication yesterday. She had a large amount of fluid filling around her left lung and it was making it hard for her to breath. Dr. Stein put in a chest tube yesterday to drain it. There was about 300 cc's of fluid total. Went well and she is breathing much better.

This morning she was cleared to have her NG tube and Foley cath removed. So, water today and hopefully beef broth for breakfast!

Take care everyone.
