Melissa was moved to the surgical floor today. When she went in they did not have a bed so she ended up on the cardiac floor. She is back in her home away from home.

She is in pain but has lengthened out the pain meds a little. The nausea seems to have stopped for now. She just doesn't feel like eating.

Today they did an echo cardiogram because her blood pressure was low and she had run a fever all night. They were worried that the VRE had gone to the heart but everything looks good. They told her she has a good heart. But then I could have told you that. We thought they were also going to put an another drain in today but that will happen tomorrow. They think there is an air pocket right beside her intestines which has been there all along, same shape and size, they just thought it was inside the intestines. She may also have a scope of the lower intestine done to make sure there are no problems there.

If they don't find anything they may do surgery on Monday. It sounds terrible but we pray that they find something so she doesn't have to go through another surgery. It would be a major surgery and she might get the bag back if they have to do the surgery. The doctor has already booked the operating room but says he has plenty of work to do if he doesn't have to do her surgery.
