Monday Update

Today was a pretty good day for Monica.  Still has pain, and some swelling, but we can see improvement everyday.  While I was there she took a long walk, and we made it to the dining hall next door.  Pretty sure the Chick-fil-a she had was better than the hospital food!  She also had her last two chest tubes removed, so now the only thing she is connected to is the LVAD.   The LVAD tech has been in every day to give us some training on the unit.  The pump can either run off of two batteries for about 12 hours, or a power unit
that she will plug into at night.  Pretty amazing technology.
Here are a couple photos from today.
