Day 10, I think!

When I got to the hospital this morning, Meg was in terrible shape. The new drain was causing great pain and hence, nausea. When Dr. Tomayo came in, she begged him to pull the drain a small way out because it felt like it was hitting something every time she breathed. He said that was not possible. But, he upped her pain meds. Shortly after that, the guy from radiology came in (he's the one who put it in). She told him of the pain and he told her to tell her doctor!

I asked our nurse to call the doctor's office to see if someone could come over. Pretty soon Dr. Tomayo came over again and gave her more pain and nausea meds. Late in the afternoon, Dr. Dunn, our hero came over to take a look. She asked Dr. Tomayo to pull it out about 2 cm. She also said that when they had cultured the pus from the abcess it was a yeast infection! She said that's pretty unusual. With Megan's body, go figure. They are treating with antibiotics. She also wanted another culture to rule out C-Dif.

Dr. Tomato came over and pulled the drain out the 2 cm. Megan got immediate relief. She said it felt like it was hitting her lung, making it difficult to breathe.

Tomorrow morning she will be able to take a shower. Yay!

We took another walk and she ate a sugar-free Popsicle. When I left she was extremely sleepy and will hopefully have a good night. Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts. We're encouraged that we may finally be on the road to recovery.
