Terrie's lunch yesterday was four hours late; she didn't eat until 4 p.m. because the medical staff injected Terrie with antibiotics yesterday, to seal the space between the pleura, so the fluid doesn't have a place to collect. She had to lie on her back or side and then had to turn every 30 minutes for four hours. Apparently more fluid is still draining -- more than the staff expected -- and so they probably won't be removing the tube (drain) tomorrow. She still has to stay in the hospital for 24 hours after they remove the tube.
Terrie's eating, with a good appetite. Her courage grows and weakens throughout the day, depending on what's happening or what gets her attention.
That's about all for now. God bless!
