10.26.17 Drainage update

Still a lot of drainage from the lower incision, but we were able to email photos to her surgeon and get confirmation that the incison is still okay. We are just doing our best to keep it clean and dry. Sadly for Aimee, it means a lot of dressing changes. 

She had a tough day today overall. Probably just exhaustion, but it is always a little nerve  wracking to see her like this. Hoping it is just finally getting deeper sleep at home. She has needed oxygen/bipap most of the day, been pale, needed to be cathed, needed extra suctioning, and a lot of breaks from fluids. We’re still maintaining hydration though and holding steady at about 30% of calories. The good news is that she is sleeping soundly now and we have no meds to administer for 3 hours, so off to bed. :)
