Well after all the good news there was bound to be a bump in the road. Devin has been having a little drainage from her incision in her neck. The doctors had said it was normal but if it changed we should let them know. Well last night it changed and she could taste it in her mouth. This morning I called Upenn and the ENT doctors and they wanted to see her so we headed in Philadelphia to the ER. After a wait Dr. Weinstein's resident and fellow came down to the ER and immediately knew exactly what was going on. They rinsed out the small hole in the neck and packed it, started her on antibiotics and admitted her back to the same floor of the hospital for a couple of days. They say this is a common complication and will resolve in a day or two.
She is not to happy to be back in the hospital (although the nurses were happy to see her), but we will make the best of it and look forward to her return home soon.
Keep those prayers coming. As Siobhan said "After some amazing news last week the reality of how grueling recovery is and how long of a fight we have has really set in." Your prayers and kindness truly helps keep us going. Thank you.
Hugs,
Rose
