Karen said that yesterday afternoon after she had been lying on her left side in bed for a while, they moved her to her right side. She started having difficulty breathing and was sounding raspy. So they switched her back to her left side and breathing got better again. Then they did a chest xray. Dr. Newton and another doctor are both going to read the xray to look for differences in the two sides.
