Nicole is a much happier camper. Her Doctor just came by and removed her drainage tubes. She had really worried and fretted about them. Now she is just glad they are gone. Dad brought in some outside food, so Nicole had some teriyaki chicken and rice, chased it down with salad and milk. First attitude then appetite, she is on her way back. We are still watching her white blood cell counts as the infection is still hanging around and being treated with antibiotics. As one of the doctor's told her, they took care of her for the last couple of weeks, now it was her turn to work at getting stronger. It won't be an easy task, but she's tough.
