Friday news
From Cindy:
Wanda had a bronchoscopy (sp?) this morning. They went down the vent and looked in her lungs and extracted anything that wasn't supposed to be there (i.e., fluid that was congesting her). She has a touch of pneumonia, but she is resting better and breathing much better after the procedure. She is still on the ventilator, but the doctor hoped to wean her from it (maybe tomorrow?). She has a chest tube that has also been draining fluid from her lungs as well, so maybe the fluid buildup will be gone soon.We did not go up today nor yesterday. We just needed some rest, although Mother and Daddy were chomping at the bit to go.We will all go up tomorrow (Saturday).Some have expressed desire to visit, which would be fine.The visiting hours for the SICU are: 10:30-11; 2:30-3; 5:30-6; and 8:30-9.Please feel free to go by and visit. We aren't always there to visit every time, and there is no limit to the number of people who can go back to visit.Thanks for the continued prayers.

Another big setback.Wanda's breathing became very laborous on Monday night, and they had to put her on a ventilator around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.She also has more sepsis (blood infection). They are monitoring her blood pressure, heart, and fluids...She is awake/aware of what's going on, but can't talk because of the ventilator. PLEASE keep the prayers heavenward.

Monday Update
This is from Cindy yesterday.
Wanda has developed a couple of complications that have set her back. First, she had a CT scan this morning and the doctors found an abcess on her liver. They put in a drain today around 2 p.m. and have drained a couple of bags (about 10 oz.) from the abcessed place. The doctors believe this may be one of the reasons for her illness all along.After we left this evening, her breathing became more labored, as she has some fluid around her lungs. They put her back on an oxygen mask instead of the nose canula.Please continue to pray for her, especially with these latest issues. We will probably visit again tomorrow.

Wed. Update on Wanda
This is what Cindy (Wanda's sister) wrote online yesterday from the hospital....
Wanda is doing MUCH better as of this afternoon. Again, the doctors are optimistic that the stint was the source of the infection. She is still on the dialysis machine, which is pulling fluid buildup from her body. However, her kidneys are producing some output, which is a good sign. The doctor hopes to have her off the dialysis machine tomorrow. When that happens, she may be ready for a room on the floor.THANKS to all who have asked and prayed.I will still keep posting as we know more. Wanda is feeling much better...asking for her cell phone!For those of you who have asked, Mother and Daddy are doing okay. Mother has been walking a little more this week and seems to be getting stronger; the wheelchair has helped walking all over UAB's complex!Daddy is weak from his chemo treatments last week (M-F), but is still chugging along. (For those of you who don't know, he has been diagnosed with MDS, which can develop into acute leukemia. He has been taking treatments for 2 months.)Again, please keep the prayers going for the whole family.

Update
This is from Wanda's sister Cindy:
On Monday, Wanda had an endoscopy to check the stint in her bile duct for blockage. There was some debris, so the doctor cleaned it out. This is probably the source of her infection. She is looking and feeling some better. The surgeon that initially accepted Wanda at UAB talked with us last evening, and she stated that Wanda would probably be in SICU at least a few more days. They want to get her off the dialysis before putting her in a regular room on the floor.Keep the prayers going!
