Chest Tubes Coming Out

Hello Family and Friends,
Long day today, I couldn't sleep last night because I kept thinking about Rebecca, so at 0230 this morning I got up and showered and went to the hospital to be with her. I arrived in her room at 0345 and low and behold my girl was awake, and quite surprised and happy to see me. So began our day. Rebecca felt she needed a bath so we got things all set up for her and took care of business, for those of you who have spent any time in a hospital bed you know what I'm talking about. As the day wore on the Docs came in and removed two of the four chest tubes, much to Beck's relief, and spoke of discharge by Friday. This seems like it's to soon, but she's recovering marvelously, and barring any problems, who knows. We'll see as the week moves on. We also got a visit from pharmacy and learned of her medication regimen and how to identify her meds!! Wow! quite a variety of shapes and sizes, but all these are to make the new lungs not get rejected. So as our day comes to an end, Rebecca is exhausted ,as are the rest of us. Elsa (Mom), Ingrid (Sis) and I are back at our apt and having a nice pasta dinner and some excellent Tempranillo from Spain. Tomorrow brings new challenges and hopefully the other two chest tubes come out. So on that note, Thanks for hanging with us. Until the next installment. Thanks.
Your Friends,
Ron and Rebecca
