Sunday

Myra's fever has subsided now that they've put the drain tube into her liver. She is doing well and back in telemetry. She's even in a room that she's been in before. You know your hospital stay is too long when you start repeating rooms!

The nurses are happy to have her back- she's been such a joy and humorous bright spot for the nurses that help Myra.

The doctors are going to attempt to clean up the fistula that is in her arm. The fistula is where they go in for dialysis and was thought to be the source of infection. Turns out the liver is the source of infection but the fistula was very dirty.

If they can successfully clean the fistula up they can continue dialysis from that port. If not, they have to insert a new fistula into her chest. Pray they can clean it up so she doesn't' have to have another procedure!
