Day 13... Whew!!! Another long day, BUT (We're hesitant here...) it looks like good news. A bit of 'touch & go' at the start of the procedure.... Monica was with Mom when they took her in, then the Nurse came out and said the technician did not want to do the procedure because they saw "a hole in the colon and numerous infected pockets"... WTF!!! Monica was left helpless, wondering what the heck was going on when moments later the Nurse came out again, running after her down the hall and told her, "We've contacted the doctor and we're told to proceed with the procedure as directed." They ended up putting in a larger drain than anticipated because the area of infection was larger than originally thought.
Current status, Mom has been resting.... some discomfort from the intestinal drain in her lower abdominal area HOWEVER, the bloating is now gone and the severe cramping is gone. While we were there Mom slept the deepest we've seen her sleep since this whole ordeal began!! We're keeping our fingers crossed and hope we get 'Great News' when the doctors see her in the morning....
Mom is aware of all the love, prayers, concern and well wishes from ALL of you.... We share it all with her and words can NOT express how much your prayers mean to us all and how much your well wishes are helping in her recovery.... Bless you all!!
Once we speak with and get updated from her Doctors we'll update again... Our Thanks and Love to all of you!
