1st Check Up - No Surprises

I say 1st because as we learn with each new meeting with the doctors, Greyson will be a patient with them for some time to come.

Dr. Jiang met us at the desk when we got there to check the drains and let us know we would be having blood work done. We then went to the room for the complete check-up. He was pleased with the incision and did say there was quite a bit of drainage but that it was not excessive. We talked about what to expect with the site in the coming weeks and we made plans to see him next Friday. The drains will stay in for a few weeks possibly and the swelling will continue to go down. The blood work was all good and the results of the tissue biopsy were good as well. Basically we will keep doing what we have been doing and hopefully the drainage will stop soon. It is really hard to keep a 9 month old from playing with the tubes and bulbs he thinks they are a new toy.

The best part of the day was returning the car bed. Greyson seemed to like the regular car seat but did let us know that he can melt down in the car seat as well. Better go, we are in the car and it has started snowing again. Better to have 4 eyes on the road than two.

Stay warm,
Brooke
