Mark the time: 3:40 PM, Saturday, March 2, 2013. Shirley had her last chest tube removed and for the first time since February, 2008, she isn't attached to an oxygen tube, IV line or chest tube. It's just her and her new lungs. Shirley and the doctor even let me video the removal.
She will stay in the hospital until Monday and will then do some pulmonary function testing. Assuming all tests well, she will be released.
Happy day!
