Waiting
Dr. Bryant again decided not to close today (it looks like Dr. St. Louis is on vacation for the entire week...) because the cultures that were taken yesterday during the wash out came back positive today with the same bacteria that the found in her chest tube drainage from the day before. So, they've decided to give her at least another day to let the IV antibiotics work on killing off the infection, and they have stopped the irrigation of her chest because it was leaking through the bandages, potentially opening her up to more infections, so the benefits did not outweigh the risks.
