Today was a MUCH better day in my household. It's been 16 hours since the last time my daughter's temp was up! This was a nasty virus. It took 4 days but I think it's over!!

My check up phone calls for Reign were much better too! We weren't able to speak with the doctor since she had quite a few emergency surgeries today but we talked with her tech. Reign's bandage change was later today because of the surgeries and I completely understand that! I spoke with the tech before the change and she was very happy with Reign's progress. She said she was alert and oriented.  Walking very good and had peed every time she had her out. I explained the poop/ diarrhea concern and she said the doctor was aware and Reign had shown signs of GI track irritation most likely caused by her medication , having a different diet or stress.   They had added a med to help with that on Thursday.       Check that off my list of things to freak out about lol 

My husband called after bandage change and she said it went well. The tech wasn't able to observe  ( she likes to see first hand so she knows exactly what is going on with the animals she's in charge of) since they had so many surgeries today. But going off of the doctors notes everything was looking really good. Reign went out to pee after ,ate a couple pieces of chicken and was napping. 

Our 10pm call the tech said she had Reign right after her amputation surgery so she was sad to see her back but a little happy cause she adores our Princess. She was very happy to see how well Reign was walking for her potty break and said she had eaten for her.  She agreed Reign was much more awake at 10-11 than when her shift started at 6.    Of course we got to hear how wonderful Reign is and she just loves sitting her on her lap for her warm compress. 

3 calls all postive!!! YAY FOR REIGN!!!  We will hear from the doctor in the morning to see if she gets to come home and the biopsy should finally be back and maybe the culture will be back too. It would be nice to all the test results  ( bone won't be back until the end of the week) just to see if they show any reason for any of this. 

Thank you everyone for the support! This site has given me so much information. I can't imagine the basket case I would be if you guys weren't here to let me ramble on! I will update tomorrow once I know if she's coming home

Sigh. Reign isn't coming home today. Emergency surgeries pushed back her bandage change/ closing so she wasn't done until 6 and she still needs her recovery time. The latest they do releases before  6 so no home coming and no visit today. They also put a jp  drain in just in case any more fluid tries to build up. Depending on how everything looks in the morning tomorrow will be Reign's home coming take #2. Depending on if the drain is producing anything she will have it out Friday/ Monday. Still no test results so maybe tomorrow we will know something 

Has anyone dealt with a drain? I'm sure they will go over everything when we pick her up but is there anything tips/tricks to this? I've never had anything like this before. 

My frustrating of the Reign Saga continues! 

Right after I posted I started searching. I understand why they are doing it and it is to be cautious but that doesn't mean I'm thrilledabout it!

As soon as the tech said they had emergencies I completely understood! Reign's bandage change before noon is not life or death. Just inconvenient for me. 

10pm call went well. She has been walking around and hasn't tried to get at the drain yet. Reign did give then girl a "What the heck?"  look when they put a shirt on her to hold the drain in place better. (She may be small but clothes are not her thing. Maybe a coat if it's really cold but that's about it.) No real interest in food but is drinking. 

Doctor will call in the morning to let us know if we can come get her.  I wish I could eat some chocolate but my stomach has been in knots since the beginning of this. Once she's all healed up I'm going to sleep for a week and live off of chocolate and wine!!
