Great news Carl.

May the recovery continue in such a wonderful manner.

A good news update! They took Mae Lyne's breathing tube out around 11:00 EDT this morning. She is breathing fine with no adverse reactions. The swelling in her windpipe is way down and she is normal - well, as normal as Mae Lyne can be anyway. She is hurting; but doing well.

The surgeon waited around until visiting minutes (there is no such thing as visiting for an hour in ICU) in order to talk to me (read reassure me). He is very relieved that the tube came out with out a hitch. Before the tube came out, he scoped her lungs. She is right where she should be in the healing/recuperating process without any glitches or "ifs". He will have the biopsy results Tuesday or Wednesday.

It is such a relief to hear her talking and see her smile. The next step is removing the chest drain tube, which is only very slightly smaller than a garden hose. When that is removed, she will be transferred from ICU to a regular room. I look for that to happen Sunday.

Thank you all for your support, caring, and prayers. Keep it going!!!

Always good to get positive updates Carl, Thoughts and Prayers continue!

Absolutely fantastic news Carl!
After reading Dinesh tragic news it just goes to show us how life is so fragile.
Give Mae Lyne a big hug from all of us and wishing her to a speedy recovery.
Take care and God Bless you both

That is good news Carl!

Don't be surprised when they take the tube out. It has to come out in one swift motion in order to maintain the vacuum in the thoracic cavity.

It will hurt, and cause some discomfort, if your there hold Mae Lyne's hand tight!

Sounds very, very encouraging.

...Thank you all for your support, caring, and prayers. Keep it going!!!

Always!

 

[CarlTR6]

Thank you all. I can't give her too big of a hug; her right side is pretty sore with that incision from back bone to breast bone. I don't think I will tell her about the tube; I'll let the doc do that. I'm chicken.

 

[WindowsStar]

Very encouraging news. I am happy to hear that. We are all here pulling for you both.

 

[Dave76]

That's great news Carl, very happy to hear it.

Both of you are still in our thoughts and prayers.

Wishing Mae Lyne continued speedy recovery.

I hope her doc is better than the one I had. Few months ago I had a real bad cough. Doctor told me to eat a whole box of ex-lax. Said by morning I'd be too afraid to cough! --- Lee

Quick update. Preliminary biopsy results came in. Mae Lyne is apparently cancer free! No cancer was found in the lymph nodes nor was any found in the surrounding tissue outside of the mass itself. The mass was definitely malignant. We are relieved beyond what words can describe. The only not so good news is that she possibly has pneumonia in her left lung, which is not the one the surgery was performed on. They have her up and walking with all the myriad of tubes and lines. She is taking her breathing treatments and doing well with the inhalation therapy. The possible pneumonia has delayed her release from ICU. She is still being fed IV due to the beating her throat took during intubation. They want to make sure she can swallow properly before they let her eat and drink. They are letting her suck on ice. Things are looking up and pressing slowly. I want her to get to a regular room so I can have visiting hours instead of visiting minutes!

Please keep the prayers and positive thoughts going. They are working and she is improving.

Fantastic news on the cancer being gone. Let’s hope the pneumonia clears soon and she has a speedy recovery.

 

[Phone Man]

Good news on the cancer. Hope she gets to go home soon.

Compared to cancer, pneumonia sounds like just a cold. I know it's more serious than that, but all-in-all it looks like great news!
