Mom's nurse just told us the results of her latest chest x-ray. It showed a "slight increase in the atelectasis of the right lower lobe", meaning the collapsed area has gotten a little bit bigger. We have yet to know what the lung doctor has in store for her.
She is still very sleepy. She did eat a little bit of her lunch today which she managed to keep down. Jodie is working on dinner with her. Dr. Seligson, the surgeon, decided that her tiny body just can't tolerate Morphine like other people so he had the nurse shut it off and switch her to pain meds by mouth.
As soon as we know anything else we'll post it!

sounds like your mom is making progress. just the fact that she's coughing well and maintaining her o2 level is a good sign towards recovery. soon, you'll all be able to get some well needed rest. i'll try to peak in tomorrow(mon.)
