Well, each day we are here they keep adding another day. It's such a fluid (pun intended) process. The drain they put in yesterday was capped, but still leaking around the site. They uncapped the drain and got out about an ounce of fluid (some lymphatic fluid, blood and doxycycline). They've got it on bulb suction, which is supposed to pull it out and pull the area together so it'll scar shut from the inside. After about 24 hours they'll see how its' doing and take it off suction if they can. Then they'll watch for awhile (read: another day) and see how he does. I'm starting the idea "can't we just do this from the Ronald McDonald house? It's like watching paint dry around here!
The good news is we get to go to the toddler playroom this afternoon! Hooray! We've not been there before, but it'll be nice to play somewhere other than our room. We've taken periodic trips around the unit, but we'll have fun playing.
Gee, this wagon is almost as fancy as the one he has at home. Hope he gets to go home soon so he can use his own wagon. Aunt Joni
