ICU, Day 13

The results of the CT scan showed that Mom has an abscess in her spleen. There's talk about draining it, but that could be trouble with her lungs struggling still. There's more fluid in her lungs, and talk about a trache because she's been on the respirator for so long. She still has a fever, but it's not as bad. Her white count is down some (yay), and she has more color in her face (she was looking a little pale yesterday). Her swelling has gone down a little bit as well, in both sides. She's still communicating with head nods and shakes (subtle, but they're there) when you ask her questions, as long as she's not sedated. They also have her on what the nurses like to call Milk of Amnesia, so she won't have to remember any of this happening to her. Keep her in your prayers.
