Hazel's Update for November 15, 2016

Pink Pumpkins

Today was an amazing day.  I should say it started out that way. Hazel was feeling pretty chipper but the medical team is not happy with several things.  Bottom line is I was there for most of the day and there was no time to write a blog post because I was there to take care of her. The physicians ordered a CT Scan and X-ray to check for the bacteria lurking in small areas where the antibiotics are not working. The decision tonight is that she will have two "procedures" tomorrow.  She had a lot of trauma with the IVs today.  One procedure is related to the compromised PICC Line and the other is related to some pockets of contaminated fluids in her abdomen.  This news comes only from the nurses so we have yet to hear the physician's versions of what they are doing and why.  

I would write more but I am going back to the hospital tomorrow morning early and need to get some sleep. Tomorrow I should have more time and more to report. Thanks for hanging in here with us and for all your prayers and support.  You are making a big difference in her life and we love you for it.  

Here she is with Julia looking remarkably healthy. I guess looks can be deceiving sometimes. But she was happy today and that was the best to see.  Just when she starts looking and acting more well...something new crops up.
