Still in isolation

Melissa is still in isolation. (Love the yellow gown and blue gloves) She is having some good days although Wednesday night was a crash and burn. Thursday wasn't any better. She is off the TPN now and will lose the saline solution tonight if she could eat supper and keep it down after the CT today. The CT looked good and she will not have to have another drain put in. It doesn't mean she'll lose the other drain though. They are still not talking about when she can go home yet. We would really like her to not break her old record of 28 days straight in the hospital. The doctor had started her taking 2 pills and 2 IV antibiotics but today put her back on all IV antibiotics. Her spirits are pretty good. We always look around us and find someone who is worse off than us. Today a patient went home that had been in the hospital 5 months- through all the holidays. At least Melissa was at home even if she was not in tip top form.
