Small Improvements

Adela’s x-ray this morning showed some improvement in her lungs (yeah!).  However between the pressure setting on the ventilator and the fact the lungs were weaken during the incident the other morning she is/was leaking air into her chest cavity.  They are weaning down the pressure and said she will reabsorb the air.  However the air is keeping them from getting a clear ultrasound of her belly – to see her liver and gall bladder.  According to her latest blood draw her liver numbers are slowly climbing which is great news.  Her swelling is still really bad, however they have put her back on diuretics and she has begun to pass some fluid.  Here’s hoping she will pass it without “drying out” her blood this time.  Her fever seems to be gone as well.  So lots of good little pieces of news today.
