MaryAnn Status 3/27

Things went well today.  The doctor came in and removed the drain and talked to us for a while.  Everything still looked good.  He feels that it will just take time for the antibiotics to work. He gave an order for her to start physical therapy and that started today.  She did various motions with her right arm for about 10 minutes, which she was able to do without a lot of pain. That will go on every day.  She also went walking for a while today.  The main thing that seems to be keeping her from being discharged is high white blood cell count.  It is still hanging around 15,000 (less than 10,000 is considered normal).  They want the count to start going down which it hasn't yet.  Right now I think the earliest day she could go home is Tuesday.
