O/T...Hospital...Day 8

Yep, sister is still in the hospital. Her lung is still partially collapsed. She's having something done today to get her port working again. She's having surgery sometime this week (hopefully tomorrow but haven't heard yet) to re-inflate the lung and hopefully keep it there. They basically go in and scrub the area and irritate it, causing the lung to stick to the chest wall and stay inflated. She'll be here at least until the weekend, and maybe longer depending on when the surg. is. So Thursday is my birthday...guess where I'll be!! They have great cake, though, and I'm going to eat a BIG piece!!

Thanks to all who have sent good thoughts and prayers...they are appreciated SO much!!
