Cindy's sister Karleen is spending the day with Cindy today. Cindy had a chest x-ray this morning with the hope of getting out the chest tube. They found that for some unknown reason her lung is partially collapsed. More tests yet from last week showed that she had endometriosis on her appendix. She is still having alot of pain in her belly area, so they are doing another CT scan now to see if there is anything they can find yet. They have been suctioning out the chest tube and for some reason that apparantly plugged up this afternoon causing quite a bad spell for her. They left the suction connected now so hopefully that won't happen again.
Kyle spoke with Dr Heffez (the Dr from Milwaukee) and filled him in to what has happened, and he is going to make contact with the neurosurgeon in Sioux Falls. No Dr's in Sioux Falls have ever worked with the type of shunts that Cindy has. She does have the best N.S. in S.F. we have been told.
I will hopefully update tomorrow morning with the news from the CT scan.
Both Kyle's and our families are close enough that we are all trying to help them in whatever way we can with the kids, Cindy etc.. Kyle's retired parents and his sister both live in Sioux Center which has been a huge help to them through all of this. I now have to get home, Kyle and kids are coming for supper. The 2 little ones have swimming lessons in Rock Valley this week.
Please keep praying!

Kathy & all of Cindy's family,
Thank you for keeping the blog up to date! We are constantly praying for Cindy's return to health and a more normal life. God only knows why she is facing so many trials. We thank God for her unfailing faith! Cindy is a great example to all of us on how to handle serious health issues!
Praying the doctors can get everything under control and that they will make the correct decisions when it comes to the shunts and tubes.
God Bless all of you~

Thinking of you all today and praying for a day of rest for Cindy. We are praying that she can gain some nourishment and strength this day. Karleen, it was nice to get to see you yesterday. I hope that Cindy is having a better day than yesterday. We send our prayers.
Mary and Lyle
