Donna came back from having the fluid removed from her lung, there was 1300CC's, or about the equivalent of 5 1/2 cups. Apparently it has a very similar look to the fluid that was around her heart - milky is how they describe it. The fluid from the heart has still not shown to be infected.
Donna did not have a good time when they drained her lung, apparently it was very painful and the technician was not gentle or kind during the procedure. She was able to complain (loudly) to the pulmonary doctor and he apologized profusely.
The prediction is that Donna will remain in the CVICU for a little while longer - number of days to be determined. Louie and my folks are with Donna today. Kirsten has left to return home.
Donna is comfortable now, maybe she will get to take a nap for a while.
