Not much to report. Jackie is still having difficulty with fluids but things are improving. She lost slightly less than 2 pounds today. They continue to give her Lasix to try and reduce the fluids. They also added another drug in pill form to see if they could get a better result.

As a result of the fluid she continues to have difficulty breathing. She is almost always short of breath. Today she is better, however.

Again, she continues to sleep a great deal. I don't know if they will release her tomorrow or not. To me it seems a little early. I think another day or so might be best. But being out-patient will cause her to be more active which in turn is probably best.

I'll keep everyone posted.
