Deja Vu - 2 - Day 5 continued

Harper did beautifully in surgery. There were no immediate complications. They implanted the central line (a Broviac) which is tunneled under the skin. It has 2 lumens (tubes). Here's a drawing of one:




They also completed another biopsy of one of the liver growths using surgery (1.5 inch incision) which the pathology lab assured our surgeon was enough tissue to complete their work and provide a definitive identification. (finally)

Harper is in some pain, but that's completely understandable. They've got her on pain meds.

Tomorrow we hope to hear more from the pathology report. I really am hoping it doesn't take until Thursday.

We had a slew of visitors today, and our room is literally overflowing with gifts. Our sincere thanks to all those who have called, texted, sent things or personally brought smiles to our room. All are precious gifts and are appreciated. We are loved, she is loved and we're humbled by it all.

On another positive note, her BP seems to be finally falling into line. The readings are the best we've seen since we got to the hospital. And Harper seems to be starting o adjust to the meds. My hope is that is a trend that will continue.

We have 1 more peripheral IV to remove and we'll be free of any tubes in her arms. That will be such a blessing as well.

Keep us in your prayers as we hunker down and prepare for what tomorrow brings.
