Come Monday
It'll Be Alright...

Monday we should find out just what the course of correction will be.
A team of doctors will evaluate June's condition and determine what action, if any, they will take. Apparently they rotate a team of doctors each month and the new team has come onboard and the communication between them is a bit sketchy. Regardless, some decisions should be made soon. The lung that was leaking air seems to have slowed but not stopped. This is indicated by air bubbles coming from the drain tube. The fluid from the pleural cavity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleural_cavity has slowed and they have removed the pump. There is hope the lung will reattach itself to the chest wall, important because that will be one of the factors to consider as far as when the surgeries will begin.

June has been recognized by the nurses on the third floor as the patient with the "Best Attitude". Are we surprised? Not the least, we've all known that for awhile. They continually comment on her positive spirit and outlook. Keep up the good work, June!

Ernie woke up Sunday morning feeling rejuvenated, his own words. He could not explain why, only that he had asked God to give him strength and He did.

Again, thank you from our entire family for the care, concern, love and prayers each of you have shared and shown. John
