Hey all,
Sorry to take so long but I'm back in the hospital. Here's what the last 4 days have been like:
Friday- been having fever and chills, realize it's Friday and hopeful when I call they will prescribe an antibiotic for me. No suc luck, I had to be seen, so Windall and I loaded up and headed to Barnes/admitting. Got here around 12:30 and started tons of tests. Found out late Friday that there was fluid behind my scar (normally from multiple surgeries in the same spot) and there was a bacteria growing somewhere. Dr. Z and the residents came into my room and started opening up part of my scar and pressed and this fluid cme out allowing me some instant relief. Windall got to watch him do that and thought it was amazing! That's when I learned that it would remain open and changed twice a day. They wanted it to heal from the inside out.
But they were stilled very concerned about the bacteria so that's pretty much why I'm still here.
Since being here I've had no fever or chills and actually feel pretty normal. I'm hopeful to go home tomorrow which I think is Tuesday.
Thank you again for all your prayers! Love you!
