Meghan's a tropper! She went into surgery #2 at 9ish to clean out more of her leg wound and her arm wound. Nurse Beth said she did WONDERFUL during surgery and that we had a very remarkable young lady.
Dr. W was more positive today - the skin is still there and that allows the granulated (??) tissue to rebuild so that if a skin graft is necessary the wound bed will be ready for it. They replaced her VACs and returned her to ICU.
Post-op was a tough day. She was in some pain and the anesthesia got to her. They had to change her linens which is painful for her. Fortunately she got quite a bit of rest during the day and was awake when Mom and Caitlin came back to visit at 8:30pm.
Dr. K and Dr. W met to discuss our options for treating Meg's Wegener's. We are hopeful the disease will take a break and give her the next two weeks to get these wounds to heal.
Thanks for visiting, Rob!!! Meghan got her flowers from Faye and Chris today too. Although we can't put flowers in her room, she can see them through the window just outside.
Update - Meghan was watching the Friends marathon and looking perky at our 8:30 visit. She had some chicken broth and enjoyed chatting with Caitlin.

meghan is a trooper.
Thank you so much for the updates! I'm constantly bothering Lissa for more of them, but now that we've got this great blog, we're up to date and I can leave a message for Meg!!
I hope you have a better day tomorrow Meg. I miss you like crazy, and hope you're getting better. I'll see if I can find a Dr. Cullen to send to you <3333
I have been so worried about you, Meg! I hope you continue to get better and I hope to talk to you soon. I really miss you! <33
This blog was a fantastic idea, btw.
Take care Meg!!!
Don't make me go and exterminate you, alright?
I'll keep an eye here so I can see how are you doing :)
*hugs*
Aww, Meg! if I were there (and able to) I would give you massive hugs! At the very least I would hug the bed post or something.
Glad you got the flowers okay and at least they made you smile some.
(To echo Alexia's comments, thanks so much for keeping up this blog, Meg's Mum! We are all really concerned about her and are very grateful for the updates.)
Thanks for the comments everyone! We'll read them to Meghan until she's able to sit with her laptop. Not sure if she's able to visit the blog on her phone yet.
Oh my gosh! I just heard about the accident the other night. Thank goodness that she IS a trooper. Many thoughts and good vibes are going her way. *big hugs*
