3/16

Well, it looks like Myra will be going HOME on Friday, March 20, which also marks her 4 month anniversary of hospitalization.

She is obviously looking forward to going home but is also a little frightened of falling both physically and figuratively. She has high expectations for herself and doesn't want to fall short of those.

She had a CT scan Thursday and the liver abscess is shrinking, but still present. It's reduced from 7 mm x 4 mm to 6 x 2.5 mm. She remains on antibiotics to treat this until it is completely gone.

She does still have the drain from the mastectomy and the doctor wants that removed before she goes home. Its a little unexplained why it is still draining. Some days there is a decent amount of draining and the next day there is nothing. They are hoping for that to clear up soon!

She will be having a nurse come in and check up on her when she is at home and will be an outpatient for dialysis.

Let's pray for a great week for Myra so that this time next week, she's sitting in her chair at home instead of the hospital!
