Monday Update

We finally got some rest last night! In the morning, Kaley was ready to get out of her crib and was HUNGRY! Always a good sign :). She started standing up and walking around a little bit.. She did well with her PT. With Rhys' help, they made turkey, colored, played in the kitchen, and rode in some cars. She continued to eat throughout the day, drank more, and even pooped (very exciting...). The pain seems to be getting better. They decided to leave the drain in due to increased drainage but it might come out tomorrow, it just depends on the amount on drainage. The incision looks great! She still has a temperature 99.7-102.5. They did a full work up with a chest x-ray, labs, blood culture, and urine culture to see if they can figure out what is causing the fever. The lab results are still pending. Pathology results from the surgery should take 7-10 days.

This evening, she continued to perk up, ate some fish sticks and guacamole for dinner with a special Halloween cookie from Nana. Kaley has made friends with most of the nurses as she cruises around in the cars and waves at everybody :). The goal for today was to eat more and walk around more, and we accomplished both!
