Today, Shirley underwent her third trip to the operating wound to change out her Wound Vac dressing. But unlike the first two times, there was no infected tissue that needed to be removed. In addition, her White Blood Cell count continues to go down -- not into the normal range yet, but definitely heading in the right direction.
She has also been cleared to eat solid foods. She enjoyed a cup of Jello this afternoon and a plate of Mac and Cheese has been ordered for dinner which should be arriving soon.
The Physical Therapists worked with her again today. The gains here are small but significant, as she spent about 30 minutes in a chair.
With no more invasive procedures scheduled until Friday, she now gets two days to eat and regain her strength.
