I spent Thursday night with Melissa because her wound vac leaked. They were not able to get it going and so just packed the incision for the night. It could have got real messy but didn't. Friday she had a CT scan to find out where all the drainage is coming from. After that they hooked her back up to the wound vac at her request. They were willing to let her just do the packing to cut back on tape. She thinks the vac will be less messy. Also one of the central line ports failed. She does have two others so she is still ok with that. They are able to draw blood so she doesn't have to be stuck, giving her a chance for her arms to heal.

I did talk to the nurse about the CT scan. They said it showed a lung not inflating all the way which I am not surprised since she has not been moving around a lot in a couple of days. It also showed a leak which we knew she had. We will get official results today.

Meanwhile we are taking her supper from a family get together. Something different from hospital food although it is good too. They just don't vary the menu. Of course they don't expect most people to know they are repeating so much.

Family and friends are getting together Monday night at 7 PM to pray for Melissa at the hospital. If you can't join us remember us in prayer at the same time where you are. Thanks.
