The saga continues...

Brief update from Suzanne - Kim returned home from the hospital on Wednesday night (December 30th). She is still not feeling well & rang in the New Year quietly. Her leg and neck incisions are still not healing properly. She still has the drain in her leg & while it is helping relieve the pressure, recent tests show that the size of the "pocket" where fluid (blood) is collecting is actually getting bigger. There is still fluid gathering near her neck as well. This is clear & they think it may be lymphatic fluid (which is not dangerous). Kim will see several doctors at Northwestern on Monday (January 4th) and hopefully they will come up with a plan. They may admit her AGAIN and give her more platelets to aid in her healing/clotting. We will post again with the outcome from those appointments...
