It was a day filled with anxiety as Alison never returned to peaceful slumber after 3 a.m., due to chest pain. While she wanted the tubes removed, the situation posed a double-edged sword scenario: you also want all the drainage from the lungs to be complete before they're removed because it won't be fun for anyone if the procedure has to be repeated later.
Another chest x-ray was done, and due to low hemoglobin, Alison got a blood transfusion this afternoon. However it does appear the tubes from the right lung will be removed and plans can then be made for her to be released to begin her 30-day hotel stay. More details later as they become available!
