She's Got No Strings, and Now She's Free

Heather is no longer attached to any machines or tubes! They took her wound vac off today! She now just has a dressing that covers her abdominal wound. It is a big step, indicating that she is healing really well.

The only thing still attached to her is a pic line (peripherally inserted central catheter, which is a form of IV line. They rarely use it, but it allows her to receive medications directly into her vein. They just screw syringes onto these short [about two inches long] tubes that go into her vein.).

She ran a bit of a fever last night, but seems to be doing better today. All in all she is still doing quite well.
