We were able to give her a shower right before her dressing change. The wound is continuing to fill in well. There was some overgrowth of granulation tissue that required silver nitrate to burn it back. No plans have been communicated to us yet, but ortho, plastics, and general medicine were all here and are consulting. We were able to start her feeds and ramp her up throughout the day. She is currently still on TPN, but it has been reduced by half.
At this point we are waiting to hear back from the team on if there will be another trip to the OR for the wound closure or if they will send us home with the wound VAC. Depending on what they decide to do there, we will also have a procedure to replace her g-tube with a g/j-tube.
