It is day ten (12/27) of my hospital stay and as much as I would love to be home, we are all focused on a much bigger prize!
Update:
Today (12/27) I will complete my 5th day of IV nutrition and 6th 24 hr period without food by mouth (started 12/21 7PM). This has all been done in an effort to eliminate chyle fluid from leaking into my chest cavity through a perforation in my thoracic lymph duct (see previous post: We knew it couldn’t all be fun.)
All signs are positive at this point in time. The plan is to continue the IV nutrition for another 24 hour period beginning at 10PM this evening and conclude Sunday (12/28) at 10PM. The following day (12/29) food will be reintroduced into my diet and the fluid draining from my lungs will be monitored for 24 hours to confirm that no chyle fluid is present. Thank you for your continued support and we will win!
