FIRST CLINIC APPOINTMENT AFTER SURGERY!

We went to the clinic appointment this morning. I dropped Lee off at the front door--they offered him a wheel chair and he said no (he didn't realize that the walk to the clinic was so far). He was tired when he got there. Needless to say we found a wheelchair to leave the clinic with. His labs were good. He still has his drain tube (which he was hoping to loose today). He also still has his staples (which he also was hoping to loose). The Dr. said at least another week and maybe two for the drain and the staples. The drain had some clogging and the surgeon took the drain apart and cleaned it out. It is not draining as much today. The progression for monitoring the drain is (it looks like tomato juice first--rather thick--then cranberry color and clear and then apple juice color). When it gets to the apple juice color and there isn't much of it they take the drain out. And that is really more information than you wanted to know! We are getting to know the new normal of measuring stuff. Temperature, blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, input and output. The kidney function is excellent!! PRAISE THE LORD!! We just thank the Lord for all the prayers you are praying--they are keeping us going! Keep those prayers going upward!! Keep those good thoughts going also! The telephone # here is 919-402-1700 ext 1799. Call us on that phone and we won't be using our cell phone minutes up.
