Saturday Morning in Monticello

Marilee returned home from  up north on Friday.  She handled the trip pretty well and is glad that she is home.  A world wind week of staying in Monticello, the to Huntsman, then to Kelli's and then back home so she is still trying to figure out where she is sometimes.  She had liquid in her right lung that caused her significant pain and difficulty in breathing.  They took nearly three liters of fluid from her lung the first night at the University of Utah ER before she went to the Huntsman Center.  They put in a niffty little drain into the lung area that we can drain at home every other day.  The amount of fluid is getting smaller each time we do the drain .  That is good.  Dr. Ward wanted to re-evaluate treatment plan and schedule in the upcoming week so we are on  holding pattern until then,  but it will good for her to get some rest.  We very much appreciate the many offers to assist and help in anyway and don't be suprised if we take up for some help.  Heidi and Josh are her for the weekend and a few days.  I so very much appreciate and love my children for all that they have done to assist and help with their mother.  Each has done things in their own way that has made this situation tolerable.  Thanks  Kelli, Pete, Max and Jillian; Heidi and Josh, Alisa, Ryan and Jenna.
