Hello friends,
We had an unexpected bump in the road this morning when I discovered that one of my drains had started leaking. Basically the blood got too thick and clogged the narrow tube. So we made a trip down to Dr.Guthrie's office. Her nurse decided to just remove both drains as the drainage was fairly minimal. They would have removed them on Thursday if we hadn't needed to go in early. It was only a little scary and uncomfortable.
We will be watching both sites carefully and going back in if needed.
Praise
*Rebecca's amazing help... She really was an angel.
*Huge thanks to the Tucker family for taking care of Abby for the first few days I was home.
*Margaret is here to help... What a blessing to have her here.
*Curt is an absolute trooper...I truly am so thankful!
*We were able to get in to Dr. Guthrie's office quickly this morning.
Prayers
*My two drain sites would continue to drain properly and will naturally heal on their own without infection.
*Comfort while sleeping... Sleeping on my back is a real drag.
*Emotional perseverance... Taking each day moment to moment and not getting overwhelmed by the time it takes to heal. I'm not very patient.
Love you all!
Rachelle
