Thursday

Myra had her procedure to insert the drain tube into the liver. It went well and everything is in place! They were able to drain 5 ounces of infection out of the liver. The drain tube will be in place for 1-5 weeks, depending on the drainage and how the area heals.

Myra was not put out for the surgery (she would have preferred to have been) but they did numb the area. She was quite anxious leading up to the procedure, as she was fearful of pain. Luckily, it was fairly simple and pain-free.

She was quite hungry after all this business because they intended to do this yesterday but couldn't due to her clotting levels. So, she didn't eat yesterday or today, well for a couple of ice chips but what good is that :)

She enjoyed a nice dinner and a big, fat nap after all was said and done.

Please pray for a quick recovery from this and that she feels better once the infection is removed from her body.
