Two more lines removed…

This morning, the nurses removed Adela’s arterial line in her femoral artery.  That was the line that was used primarily to monitor her blood pressure continuously and to draw blood for her “arterial blood gas” tests (which, among other things, tell how well her lungs are doing).  This afternoon, her Foley catheter was removed.

So, two more steps on the road to recovery.
