Rachel update...

Well, pretty much more of the same today. They had to give her more blood today, she is on 3 heavy duty anti biotics and fluids and such. There are so many tubes coming out of her it is unbelievable. They weren't even going to try and take out the breathing tube today because it stressed her so much yesterday. Her top part of her right lung colapsed yesterday so they are basically letting her heal today. They are keeping her pretty much sedated and on pain medication so she only opens her eyes when they are doing something to her. She wants to have a drink and eat but that is not in the picture for a couple more days. The last time she ate was monday afternoon. They give her breathing treatments every 4 hours and pound on her chest then suction out the mucus stuff. She is fighting a fever but they aren't sure if there is infection or post op fever. hmmm... can't think of anything else. Spencer and President Derrick (our old bishop) gave her another blessing today. We hope she will start improving. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. I'm off to the hospital so spencer can come home and settle everyone for bed and get some more work done. We love you all. She is at Banner Desert (off dobson and freeway) the direct number is 480-512-6111
