Yippee!!

So today Dahlia had another follow up appointment with her surgeon and the infectious diseases doctor. They agreed and decided to remove the drain!! Yay!!

I really was not expecting for it to come out today, I was thinking they were going to give it at the very least one more week. There was still yucky stuff draining out but it was very little. And so they agreed that at this point, they were more worried about germs and bugs going up the drain than coming out of it.
She also had her gtube replaced with a mickey. This is a lot smaller and is close to her tummy so she no longer has anything hanging off of her, yay!! No tubes hanging out!! Well one little one, she does still have her picc line which will stay in place until at least next month. But for now, she is a lot more comfortable.

This does not mean she is out of the woods. We (along with the doctors) are praying, hoping and keeping our fingers crossed that nothing accumulates and needs to be drained out again. Please go away infection keep going away!!!

I was also told that the blood work they drew last week looks very good! :) yippee!!

So now she can comfortably sleep on her tummy, on her side, on her head whatever! Also, no more working about making sure tubes don't get caught and pulled and yanked and so on.

Yay, happy day!!!
