Whew, she is doing well

First some cute pics of my girls!!!!




Arianna is a true fighter. She came through surgery just great, and is still sleeping. We just started her feeds and she is sucking on her lips, I would say she was hungry.



So the doc told me that this cyst was really a ball of infection, myopic(?) bacteria I believe he said. And yes surgery is the best way to get rid of it, the antibiotics used to kill it a nasty and have to be used for four months. To just remove the ball of junk is safe and very effective, the infection is contained inside the ball, no risk to the rest of her. As to how she got the this infection, we just don't have a clue. We are now just waiting till the drain that she has to be less that 15cc in a 24 hour period. She should be home in three days.

Here's a pic of her ear.
