Sorry to leave you hanging. Yesterday was a very hard day. Noel was in a lot of pain because of the chest tube; every time she took a deep breath she could feel them. We had her on lots of pain medicine and by the afternoon she was feeling a little better. I was super tired too so I didn’t get much done. This morning they took out her left chest tube, which was another very painful procedure, but with the help of pain meds she did alright. Her right chest tube (the right side is where the nick of her lungs happened) is still in and they’re still suctioning the air out. Hopefully the right chest tube will come out in the morning. As for the Broviak, the surgeon couldn’t find Noels sub-clavicle vein on either side of her chest; which means that Noel’s vascular structure is different than most peoples. The surgeon had no choice but to put the Broviak in her right thigh; it’s not the most ideal spot but it will work. We have a care conference scheduled for Monday to meet with all her doctor is one spot to see where we go from here. Thank you again for all your thoughts and prayers,
Tina
