Mom has been doing a great, fantastic, incredible job healing. She took a few steps back with the last infection, then a stall when she got her port put in. But she is back to moving around more, going out, running errands, eating more. She has been at home for a few days and doing great there.
The home nurse came to change her vac and feels that it can be closed! Instead of just doing a quick close, they are doing a two day close. She didn't put anything in the wound, but put the vacuum on it anyway to help continue pulling it together before final closing on Wednesday. It's a great solution that everyone felt good with. So she'll have to carry around her "little friend" as she calls it (the machine for the vac) for two more days but it seems like without problem it will be closed again on Wednesday. She doesn't even need to go back to the surgeon to close it, the nurse is going to do it! But already since Friday, about 2 inches of the wound already closed itself at the top. She's doing great!
So now she has two full days of rest before round one of chemo starts. Keep praying for mom as this week progresses that she continues to heal and is ready for her chemo.
And thank you to Jenny for the meal for mom and Peg tonight!
