Daily Report

Dad had a busy afternoon. He went to have a line changed, had quite a bit of fluid drained from his lungs, and had an x-ray.  I would say that the removal of fluid would make him feel better, but the fluid had not made him feel bad to begin with.  Having had the small chest tube placed (something Dr. Duke calls a "pigtail"), he actually feels WORSE than before.  The soreness should wear off and hopefully he'll feel better soon.  He's had some fever off and on, but he does not have any fever right now and has been treated with antibiotics.
