Back to the ICU

I rec'd a phone call from a CC nurse practitioner just prior to 4:00 PM,
informing me that a lung x-ray this morning showed that the left lung,
intentionally collapsed during surgery so the surgeon could access the
descending aorta, is either partially collapsed OR is taking on fluid.
Mom was being taken for a CAT scan for a better look at the lung
and will be taken to the ICU after that. Becky, John, and Jim will be
going to the Clinic - if they provide further information, I'll post it.
