Mama and I are exhausted and today has been a down day, starting with an early-morning and then late-morning visit with two different doctors who aren't so pleased that her fever is not totally gone. So they've added more antibiotics and are considering more diagnostics in case there is something (i.e. another abscess) they missed or that has developed since the last CT scan. They are also consulting with other doctors about more complex/powerful antibiotic cocktails.
We're just tired and tired of her being in the hospital. While recognizing our good fortune on many fronts, we are ready for things to be better. So, I've come home for a midday nap and a school function while Mama gets an extra nap this afternoon. I'll return this evening. And tomorrow . . . . and . . . . for the foreseeable future.
Fear not, it is always worse when there is a post operative difficulty, you will be imagining the worst...and it is imagination. Clearly she was discharged too soon, they do it over here too, especially at week ends and Christmas, then wonder why patients get upset. Gradually it will be solved, the main thing is to keep the worst from the kids. Think of the next 18 years rather than the last few days and use the mirror technique.
