NEW ROOM

Hello to all! This is Dana. We have moved to a new, larger room today to better accommodate us and our guests. We are in 360. Tim is doing very well today. The hiccups really set him back yesterday. After suffering from the hiccups (these are quite painful for heart patients)
all evening the night before and into the night and all day yesterday, he was heavily medicated to try and rid himself of them. He slept all day from the heavy medication and was not able to visit with any guests. He did not get to walk and this hindered the fluid in his chest and around his lungs from draining. Therefore, he still has the chest tube. He will receive a steroid shot today to help dry up the fluid. We are hoping for the very best - as soon as the fluid is gone, the chest tube is gone and we can possibly talk about going home. We sincerely thank all of you for the prayers, phone calls, visits, support, etc.
