The results of the culture they took from Heather's abdominal wound came back showing no signs of infection (i.e., we could have gone home Wednesday). So, we are scheduled to head home tomorrow (Friday) morning! We are very excited!!!! Hopefully, nothing bad will occur before then, and things will go as planned.
Heather's back seems much better today. It is still quite sore, but it is no longer so inflamed and "angry." It's really nice to see it finally improving. The last few days she has been struggling with quite a bit of swelling in her legs and feet, from her knees down. It makes it painful for her to walk. She has been sitting in her wheelchair a lot so that her back doesn't need to have a dressing on it, but that makes the swelling worse. Last night we were able to elevate her legs and feet in her bed, and they seemed better today. I imagine that will be a bit of a battle for a while. We are just excited that she is well enough to finally go home.
