She's practically tubeless!
The nurse last night did an excellent job of coordinating mom's care. She organized it so everyone came in at the same time to do their stuff and then left her alone to sleep for a couple hours. Mom was able to get some solid sleep! Doctor Ott came in early this morning and said the x-rays from yesterday looked good; he took out the chest tube and the telemetry (a bunch of wires monitoring her heart). . She now has only one small drain left to come out. He is starting her on some regular fluids today (not just clear fluids) and maybe have her try some solid foods tomorrow. She is still on track for going home tomorrow. All in all, it's already been a good day !
