Good news on 2 fronts:
Pam's respiratory problems are improving steadily, probably because she is finally absorbing the fluid from her lungs with the help of Lasix, commonly known as a "water pill". She isn't exactly "perky", but she is definitely much more comfortable. She still has shortness of breath with a minimal amount of exertion, but I expect that will continue to improve as she gets rid of the excess fluid.
Even more exciting, her white blood cell count went from 110 to 26 two days ago. Today, her count was 2.6; so it is a ten fold decrease in just two days.
Her care here has been excellent: attentive, empathetic, and professional on all counts, so we are very lucky.
