Saturday up date on Jane
Greetings everyone
Jane is still doing ok she has a lot of back pain but still tolorating liquids well. To any one that came home with a drain a question as of tonight Jane's drain has a purple colored stuff coming of it wondering if OK ? Please continue to pray for her and us. Jane is coming home Monday so look out for the questions
Thanks again

Tommy,
I had drains a'plenty.
Is it an incisional drain?
If so the purplish color is probably just
Swelling fluid with a bit of blood in it-
Very common.
If it is a drain to release pressure
From the "old stomach," it could be anything from
A combination of gastric juices to "black bile."
Tell her to ask the Doc if she has anything
She's curious about.
"Is it Normal???" "Why?"
That's how my daily conversations went with my Doc
And his staff.
Hope she's up and around feeling better each day soon!
Best Wishes-
Dx
