Well today we learned that Shirley will not be released from the hospital. While she had progressed sufficiently, the Thoracic team does not want to weigh in a timeline until they inspect her wound during tomorrow's wound vac change. Shirley is a relieved as this gives her more time to process this change.
We've begun meeting with the teams that will support her after discharge. Today, a pharmacist from the Home Infusion team stopped by. The plan is to leave her PICC line in so that she can self-administer the IV antibiotics that she is still taking three times per day.
I'll provide another update tomorrow after we talk to the surgeons.
