LOTS OF WAITING AND WATCHING

So I am still having trouble with the internet access here. So who knows how many days of updates you all will get at once.

Last night Kristi and I slept pretty well. Early in the evening we kept getting woken up by the monitors...seems that every time she dozed off, some kind of alarm would go off. So they put her on some oxygen and that helped keep them from freaking out. Her blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen level and respirations all look good...and her heart is pumping away the best it can.

This morning we woke up to a radiology tech who came in to do a chest X-Ray. They want to make sure that the meds are are working and removing the excess fluid in her lungs. She has lost almost 15 pounds in the last 6 days, so I think it is pretty safe to assume it is working. She also had another round of intravenous Lasix. She can't eat today until she has her Trans-Esophageal Echocardiogram (T.E.E) in an hour or so. Which she is not happy about, but she's getting through it.

I will get you an update when her test is over and let you now how it went.

Oh...on a positive note, we were able to figure out how to change channels on the TV.
