We are currently still in the PCTU. Mallory continues to make great strides after surgery on Tuesday with just a few setbacks. She is off of all oxygen support and only taking pain medication as needed. On Friday she had some vomiting of old blood during the day that turned into new blood later into the evening. For precautions they stopped all of her feedings for 24 hours and monitored her all day yesterday. Happy to report that she has had no more vomiting, which they claim was probably due to a stress ulcer, and has now began feeding again by bottle. She has still had a little output from her chest tube so that still remains in place, hoping that can be removed sometime tomorrow. Yesterday we seen our first smiles since before surgery, which were much needed by us both. She is starting to act more like the little Mallory that we know. Even the doctors and nurses are getting some smiles. We greatly appreciate the support and help from family and friends. We look forward to coming home and seeing the girls and family.
