A bump in the road

Alison had 2,000 cc's of fluid tapped from around her lungs yesterday. There was more but the doctors can only tap so much at one time. Alison definitely felt some relief but still has pain and discomfort. We're hoping they can tap the rest tomorrow when she goes in for surgery. Stephen is home from Fordham, he and Jen came up to visit with Alison last night. It was wonderful for Joe and I to have all our children together. Late night and early morning were filled with many tasks but, unfortunately, the is standard for a hospital stay. Joe was able to locate a roll-away bed for me-thank goodness-my hero! Alison is exhausted this morning-hopefully, she'll be able to get some rest.
