Tanya's Lung Transplant 6: 8/13/09

Today hasn't been so great. Tanya still hasn't been able to get any real sleep because of the pain and all the activity going on around the clock. They stopped the epidural and started the medicated patch again, which doesn't seem to be as effective. They say that there is still a lot of drainage in and around the new lungs, so it seems they plan to do another bronch to try and have a closer look and maybe remove some of the excess fluid. I guess there are always going to be good days and not so good days. At least they're talking about getting her into a normal room this weekend.
