Troubles again

Melissa is having problems with the plug. Last week she had an x-ray done and her abscess is active again. They think that the plug may have been put in only to the abscess thinking that was the bowel. The interventional radiologist told her that her x-ray was one of the hardest to understand he had seen. She is going back to have a CT scan with contrast done on Friday. He is also talking to the surgeon to try to figure out what should be done next. She will have a period of time she feels well and then will start feeling bad. That is when the abscess is filling up and starting to cause problems. Then it will drain and she will feel better. They have put a drain in the abscess so that is helping some, I think.
