Ma's remaining chest tube is still draining her lung. Unfortunately, it shows no signs of letting up. There has been no further estimate on when Ma can go home. I'm afraid her doctor is going to say that the pleurodesis failed again, and she'll need more surgery.
Other than the fluid, Ma is doing well. They're making her walk around the cardio unit 4x a day. She's able to use the toilet instead of the commode, and she brushes her teeth at the sink. And her appetite is good. Kit sneaked in some fried quail and boiled peanuts for her today.
