Still in Hospital, but out of ICU!!!!

Just a quick post to let everyone know that Elizabeth is out of the PICU. She finally got a room last night around 6:00 pm.
Surgeons were by this morning and think she might be able to get her chest tube out today or the latest tomorrow. That is the last hurdle to getting home.

We forgot in earlier posts to mention that Elizabeth's AFP was down to 539 just before surgery. So it looks like the earlier increase was just a short term increase.

This is very promising since she will start on more Chemo to kill off the microscopic disease.

As you may guess, this was Dad here.

Take care.
