Wednesday - Here's the plan

Ok - so after starving Trish this morning, they let us know that they would not do a procedure on her today and she enjoyed some pasta left over from dinner and Aunt Mary's zucchini pie.

She is scheduled for surgery tomorrow - maybe -- she is a "write-in" meaning, if an OR becomes available they will do it tomorrow, and if they don't start by 3pm - it will be Friday for sure. So tomorrow will be another day of not eating till at least 3pm, that might end in nothing being gained.

Now you may be asking "surgery"? What are they going to do...well we're not sure, but the strategy is to get her ready for the transplant as quickly as possible and that means they have shifted from "draining" things to "removing" things. It will be laproscopic surgery, so it will be as minimally invasive as possible and the goal will be to remove as little as possible. Bottom line is she needs to have "no infected nothing" for transplant.

That's about it for Trish's update today, she's in good spirits and just wants to get moving on.
