Colleen: two steps forward...

[mdlbear]

Colleen is still eating people food -- we went out to Red Lobster tonight as a belated anniversary dinner. We dumped the last of the bags of TPN swill yesterday. We still have to flush the PICC lines twice a day; Marty's been handling the afternoon flush on weekdays. It's pretty quick and easy, though, now that it's gotten to be routine.

There's been a little drainage from the fistula, but it's not connected to her intestine anymore, just draining what appear to be some pockets of infection. :(

She got her surgery moved up a day -- whee! Rather have an extra week, but we'll take whatever we can get.

I send a "get better" kiss on the wind.

Thanks!

I wish you could report no infection, but an infection that's draining is better than one that's not!

Indeed. And the closer we get to a surgery date, the less the still-open fistula matters.

Hooray for eating people food! And double hooray for the surgery being moved up!
