The doctors are starting to talk about Melissa coming home by the end of the week if she does well on oral antibiotics. they switched one IV to something that has a pill form to see if she can tolerate it for a couple of day and then will try the pill form. Slow but sure. Her wound vac was changed today. Still putting out a lot of junk. They have taken her off her continuous pain meds and lengthened the time in between when she can get a dose and have put her on pills. The pain pump was not working as well so she had built a tolerance of it.

She is getting stronger and had a good Easter weekend. Her in-laws to be brought Easter dinner in. Although she couldn't eat much she still enjoyed something besides hospital food.

Her CT scan didn't show anything new. We did find out that the partially inflated lung was due to having the central line put in. A chest x-ray Sunday showed that everything is alright there.

Family and friends came to pray with her Monday night. She didn't go downstairs because she couldn't stay awake after having meds to help with the wound vac change in the afternoon. Thank you for all your prayers. There is NO WAY we could have gotten through all this if it wasn't for God's help.
