Hospital stay - Need to drain

Elizabeth’s symptoms worsened quite a bit yesterday. The side pain was much worse and she couldn’t stop coughing. Seemed like the fluid was constricting her lungs more and more. After a brief trip through day hospital, Marcio got us set up to admit in the hospital. Worked out well with room. Mom got her favorite wing on the fourth floor and a “B” bed to boot. Extra bonus with no room mate last night, but that can change quickly.
As of yesterday, they could not figure out when Radiology would be able to get her Elizabeth in to put a drain in using CT guidance. After much debate about Radiology’s schedule, today Marcio got vigorously involved. For now, she is scheduled to have the drain put in tomorrow afternoon.
In the meantime, she is doing well with the Tylenol with Codeine and is her standard assertive, precocious self. Charming and keeping all in line. It is so nice to see her with so much spirit even when she clearly feels like crap. She is a tough girl.
Till there is more news, Elizabeth is hanging out in 436B at childrens.
