3 WEEK CHECK UP
Went to see Dr. Gibbs yesterday. I am down 5 more lbs from last week. He said the infection is doing great, exactly as he wanted. He gave me another round of antibiotics and put in a drain tube. Almost all the redness is gone and most of the puffyness. He confirmed my asumption. The tissue in my stomache did not lay and adhere to the other tissue and caused an air pocket which in turn caused bacteria to build up. It is no wonder with all the extra scar tissue he had to deal with. I am so glad I have Dr. Gibbs for a doc.......He is just awesome! He is very confident but at the same time humble and compationate.
The only bad news I got from him was.........He told my hubby I could drive, starting today.....Starting today! Ya know, he did'nt have to keep repeating it. Him & hubby thought it was funny.............I guess they both know I like to be schauffered! Lol I still did not drive home from Little Rock but I think I will make me a trip to starbucks this morning!
Please keep me on your prayer list (as well as susan) I have another week to get this cleared up.
Huggs to everyone,

Hey Rhonda,
5 pounds in a week!! Wooo Hooooo
I am soooo proud of you. Im so glad the infection is better, I know there is no one any happier about that than you. Yeah, when I was released to drive, I was like, DANG!!! I love to be driven around, and I do all of our driving. I did have to admit, I missed it just a little bit.
I hope you are so much better you feel like attending the support group meeting at Baptist. Cant wait to meet you.
Hugs,
The other Rhonda


I so glad to hear you're doing better - and 5 more lbs lighter too!
That is really cool. I'm also glad to hear such good thing about Dr. Gibbs. I haven't actually met with him yet - just saw him at the seminar. I'm glad to know that he is taking such good care of you. Thanks for keeping us updated! AT
