Gabriella’s had a quiet Saturday – her condition remains essentially unchanged. The burn to her lip and tongue continue cause her significant pain and discomfort. As such, she requires regular doses of morphine.
As can be seen in today’s photo, Ella’s lip appears to have improved slightly. However, the blister on her tongue appears to be about the same as it was yesterday. Ella’s ability to eat from a bottle remains but at a much lower level.
On a brighter note, the test results on Lisa’s hemorrhagic thyroid cyst came back negative – no cancer! About three weeks ago a goose egg size lump appeared on Lisa’s throat. The doctors believed it to be thyroid cyst which had filled with blood. Last Wednesday, at the same time as Ella was in surgery, the doctors used a needle and syringe to collect cells for testing.
Bottom line: Lisa’s neck is back to normal and we all breathed a huge sigh of relief. All for now.
Thank you for your prayers.
