One week post op

Angelicas chest tube is continuing to drain so the surgeon decided not to remove it just yet. The team is very happy with her progress. She is a bit fussy today because she is overly tired. Labs and X-ray come in the morning at 5/6 am. She has been staying up later and getting woken up early daily. We did not have to have lab this morning so we were very grateful for that. Angelica is a hard lab draw because her veins are so deep so we are on the VAT list. A phlebotomist that uses ultrasound to assist in the lab draw. We have labs ordered for tomorrow morning. Surgeon still feels we can leave by Friday if her chest tube is pulled and echo looks good. Chris and I plan to take a "mini vacay" for the weekend. We are not allowed to leave the area so we are looking into homeaway rentals in Galveston or surrounding area. Praying for continued healing and rest.
