Dr. Fleming, Dr. Herndon, Dr. Boyce, Marisa, and Zach came in to see Mom at 6:55. They examined her incision and noticed more infection, which means they will remove some more staples to let it drain. Also, they want to reduce Mom's edema (swelling), which means more Lasix, and derivatively less sleep. Mom's not looking forward to it.
Also, Dr. Fleming said that the oncologist, Dr. Berlin, should be coming in sometime today.

A suggestion: If Joanne must have a diuretic, they could use a foley catheter again, temporarily. Uncomfortable, but at least she could rest. They talk about rest being so essential for healing, but their medical procedures always seem to take precedence at the patient's expense.
Still praying and praying.
