Thank you, Aimee!! Xoxo
Two Thumbs Up for ....... tasty dinners, scrumptious cupcakes, full bellies and wonderful superheroes! :)
 Had another stress free, sleep-filled evening last night.  Woke early this morning to news that we would be removing the JP drain today.  The amount of fluid and swelling of her body had decreased during the course of the evening and into today.  As a result, she looks much more comfortable and has been sleeping alot. 
Dr. Somme just gave us the "go, so her drain is currently being removed and stitched up. Yay! One more tube out, YES.
Now, all we have is the PICC line which we wil leave until her last labs are drawn and we are able to go home.  Slight discussion of a discharge but don't want to get too excited yet. Tonight, we will watch her to make sure the new plumbing system is working and we have no issues (fever, bloating, etc.).
We did have a great looking poop, nice and stinky!  (I won't descibe the color I really saw to spare you some details...but it was a good one!)  We are moving forward in positive directions. One day closer.

~ Found out last night that 'Jordan', the nursing student assigned to us the night before Mercy's surgery, has a last name of Elway. Very pleasant, beautiful girl. She politely asked me for permission to stand in and observe Mercy's procedure and I said "of course."  Turns out she's the daughter of some dude named John......  ;)
