OT -- Update on The Wife.

Saw her today for a few hours.

The pain from the drainage tube in her left lung is excrutiating. They've got her on a morphine drip and they're seeing if they can increase the dosage.

There's roughly a litre of fluid out right now but there's much more to come.

She's still in not bad spirits when the edge is off the pain.

Thanks to everyone and still in major need for more prayers and positive thoughts and energy.

Love you guys and gals.
