Michael’s fluid drainage procedure went well today. They put two drains in place but that was something they said might happen so it wasn’t a surprise. They also collected a bunch of fluid they now know was contributing to the infection so we are definitely heading in the right direction in that regard.
Not much else went on today, but after a wild ride for the last several days we are definitely not complaining about a day of low excitement.

Less stressful day for you both. With the extra fluid taken out it should be easier for him to walk. Know that is so important In Getting the strength back. Is Mike still on soft foods or can he eat regular meals now? I am sure with the water retention they might curtail a lot if salt usage.
Keep the blogs coming. They are so important that we get to hear how one is doing. Have a good nights sleep and a better tomorrow. Love Mom
He’s back on regular food and they also allow us to bring in outside food so he’s been able to have things that appeal to him rather than being limited to what they bring on his tray. That’s been a big help for breaking up the monotony of the day.
