Should be outta here tomorrow...
When Dr. B came today she smiled and said "one more day"! I love to hear that. So today I sent our suitcase home and some of her equipment. Thank you for all your sweet comments, emails, text and calls. Today her culture had not grown anything but tomorrow will be the 48 hours and she isn't anticipating anything else. Her stool culture came back with blood and from what she said this could be normal post surgery. No c-diff which is such a relief. I especially need to thank my family who is so patient with me. Anytime I call they bring me whatever I ask and don't complain and also for coming to spend time and babysit with Annabel. Hoping when we are released it is a very long time before we are admitted back into the hospital. Also to Ms. Edie and Ben who gave me some afternoon relief and I was even able to go watch my sons baseball tournament.
