Top o' the Mornin' to Ya

Ok, so that should have been yesterday's title, but better late than never.

Lynn slept well last night which is great news! The blood pressure is a bit low this morning, but they don't seem as concerned as yesterday. They took more blood to monitor the infection this morning (we expect to see the infectious disease guy this morning). Dr L came by late last night to check in and give us the full scoop (not too much more than we already knew). The big hope is that we don't need to remove anything (or if we do, that we can just swap in the implant and then be done with it.

The pain level is ok, but after a good sleep she has not been able to administer her pain medication. That is being rectified now and we are settling into our day. We have an appointment at noon to get an ultrasound of the radiated area to see if the infection is pooling at all. If it is, then they will aspirate the area and analyze the sample.

Thankfully I am "working from home" today and tomorrow. I hope to have Lynn home by tomorrow.
