Update on Michelle from Justin

I went to see Michelle after work today, fortunately her Dad spent most of the day up there with her. She had a rough night and hass had trouble getting on top of the pain but it seems like they might be turning a corner tonight in getting her comfortable. She is still laying flat and really hasn't moved since getting out of surgery last night. Her breathing tube was removed this morning and as of tonight she was awake and aware of what was going on around her.
They did a chest xray earlier today and it showed that she had quite a bit if fluid in her chest. So far her oxygen saturation has been fine and there isn't any immediate need for a chest tube. They will have her sit up in the morning and get her moving a little more constantly.
Bottom line, she looks much better and seems to be feeling much better than she did last night. She wants everyone to know how grateful she is for all of you that care so much for her. She keeps answering the bell each round and fighting this thing as hard as she can. I'll likely add another update thursday and update everyone on how she's doing at that point.
