Baby steps
We got a little bit of good news. Adrienne's chest xray was much improved today. Pleural effusions are smaller. Edema is less. Infiltrate looks better. They tried to lower her o2 without success but at least she isn't needing BiPAP anymore. This is a slow process and we aren't out of the woods but at least we had some good news. Adrienne's goal is to get on the nasal cannula, which is the milestone to start rituxan.
