It is so good to hear that she is improving. Getting that fluid off certainly will help her to breath better. I remember when my husband was diagnosed with CHF he was walking across the shop one day and had to stop because he couldn't breath. Now, 4 years later, he is on tons of medication but is doing much better. Tell LaDarla that we are all thinking about her! Julie In a message dated 8/27/2009 2:52:11 P.M.

She is still in ICU, but her white blood count is down to nearly normal, and I think they have gotten rid of some of the excess fluid. They may move her to a regular room soon, but I'm sure she will be in the hospital for several more days. She is still very weak.
