The plan over the weekend was for Donna to improve, get up start walking a bit, move to a new room and so on. This all sounded good but didn't quite go as planned, it was postponed until today. Most of the doctors were in agreement that she could be moved to a "Step-down" room, so out of Intensive Care, except the heart doctors. They said no way. She still has the drainage tube and it is draining fluid from her heart. They don't want her to walk or move around until that drainage tube is removed, they don't want to remove the tube until they know what the fluid consists of and it continues to drain. They have tried a few theories to test the fluid and so far we have had no conclusions.
So far, the plan today is to drain the fluid from her lung (it's the right one). However, this morning she has been nauseated and says "I just don't feel that great". Louie and Kirsten are with her and we'll see how the day progresses.

Thank You Darlene for keeping us so well informed. We continue to pray fervently that our will for Donna's recovery and return to us coincide with God's love for us all. Wish we could do more from Visalia.
