Hi everyone. Everything is still going fine. Diane continues to be in ICU and we are with her 24-7. Stitches out on 8/2 with some seepage; otherwise, OK. Upper GI scheduled for 8/4 to see if fluids are passing through stomach: If not, in a couple of days they will perform an endoscopy with a balloon to dilate food passage orifice. Then we begin the difficult part of retraining the stomach (an unpleasant trip through nausea). She may be discharged or sent to step-down facility at the end of next week (approx the 10th). Diane is strong and you would never know that she has just survived a huge surgery. Great spirits and welcomes your calls.
Meanwhile, while Diane is recovering, her favorite person (Katie) is being shown the finer aspects of life as Diane Cunningham is showing her bloomingdales, Sachs 5th Ave., Neeman Marcus, etc., and has pictures to follow that I know you all will enjoy (once I figure out how to import them to the blog). Today, Katie is having her hair done and then will spend the evening at the yacht club with her new friends. This is only a brief sampling of how Katie's days are going. However, she still finds time to visit "mom" (ie: Our patient, Diane) regularly
Most important, just got news that the pancreas culture appears "BENIGN." More later, Jeff.
