Day 16... Another loooooooong day ... not so great is there's some 'leakage' at the drain site and no one seems to know why but on the good side, they moved Mom tonight to a private room. It's bigger and she has her own bathroom. She's in a completely different area of the hospital now and she was sad to leave those who have now become friendly familiar faces to her... They were all sad to see her go too! The evening staff all came out as they put her on the gurney to say good-bye and wish her well, they said "We hate to see the good patients get transferred!" So now Mom will have a whole new set of people to familiarize her self with and if you know Mom, you know she'll soon learn all their life stories too!!
The Hospitalist's hope was to be able to take her off the IV antibiotic today to see how she does without it for a couple of days but she spiked a fever and with the drain 'leaking' he opted not to stop it at this time. Tomorrow the surgeon has her scheduled for another CT Scan to check and see how things are progressing internally... When we know, you'll know! She still has her cell phone with her and her direct hospital phone line. When we left her shortly before 10pm, she was resting quietly... We hope for a restful night.
