Post - op Surgery Appt.

Yesterday, I took Lexi back to Phoenix Children's Hospital for her wound/incision to be looked at. After her shower, her incision was looking really red and she said it hurt really bad when I touched it. Taking all precautions, I emailed photos of her wound to the Cardiac Surgery NP and she called me and said to come in. While we were there, we just decided to do her post-op appointment so that we didn't need to make a separate trip back. Thankfully, Kristen (Surgery NP) said the incision looked great and it was just a little irritated from Lexi's shirts rubbing on it and the scab was ready to fall off. Kristen discontinued her pain med (LorTab) and said if she needs anything for pain just use Tylenol. After her appt., they sent us down to Radiology to have a follow up chest xray. After about 45 minutes, I could no longer contain the girls and we took a "waiting room" break and went to the cafeteria for lunch and then came back for our x-ray. The hospital is all decorated for Christmas so we took a tour of all the different decorated trees (there are probably 20 trees in the main lobby area and they all are decorated in unique themes by different sponsors). Lexi's favorite tree - the LEGO tree - all ornaments are made out of legos
We quickly stopped by Cora's room to say hello since we had a quick good bye at discharge. We have a follow up appointment with Dr. Jedeikin (cardiologist) on Friday, Dec. 16th. We'll keep you posted on the outcome of that appointment.
