Thursday, October 7, 2010 - Hospital Day 3

10:00 am
  • We missed the Doctors this morning but they did an ex-ray on Dianne's lungs around 6 a.m. and are still seeing a "mass" in the lung, and they are unsure of what this is. They don't say that it's a tumor/cancer. They also say that there is still an infection in the lungs, and are not sure why it's still there or what type of infection it is.
  • We didn't get any answers on the blood work that was drawn yesterday. They did draw more blood again today.
  • Good news! They are moving Dianne to the regular hospital as soon as a room becomes available. So we will keep everyone posted when this happens.
7:00 pm
  • There are apparently no vacancies in the regular hospital so Dianne is staying in the ICU.  
  • There have been no other changes since this morning.
9:00 pm
  • Dianne had an echo-cardiogram late this afternoon.  The nurse said that they received the results and that she'll be NPO at midnight.
  • She needs to stay in the ICU ... no longer eligible to be transferred to a regular hospital room.
  • We are hopeful that this discovery will help in Dianne's recovery.
