RNS Placement - Day 4

Day 4 - a couple of set backs today, but we are still on schedule to go home tonight. Jenelle has been doing very well pain wise, is tolerating food and acting more like herself. The only thing keeping us here is to finish IV antibiotics (Vancomycin). On Day 2 when we moved from the PICU to 5th floor, her IV blew causing a delay in meds. Well we were hoping to be home this morning, but Jenelle’s second IV did not want to cooperate today (and blew) so we got a new one. The new IV location is a bit tricky, right near her elbow, so when she bends her arm, the IV colludes. We are just now on the last hour of the last dose with discharge papers in hand.

Jenelle also has some swelling today which is not unusual for day 3 post surgery. We got to change her head bandages and see her incisions, but I’ll spare you from the photos! Thanks for the continued thoughts and prayers!
