Chest Tubes Out

Heather seems to be doing quite well. The doctors took out her chest tubes this morning. These are the tubes that were inserted through her ribs into her chest under her arms. It is nice to have one more potential source of infection gone. She is also down to just two IV pumps, one for her pain medication (Fentanyl) and one for electrolytes. It's great to see all this equipment go. They did add a new gadget yesterday. She is now wearing some really cool, moonboot-looking things to protect her heals from getting sore, tender, and mooshy (Napoleon would be jealous!).
