The cyst saga continues

Hazel's infection was looking quite a bit better on Saturday and Sunday. Still big, red, and infected, but better. She's still taking her antibiotic, but it seems to cause her a lot of gas (especially at night), which has made for a couple of sleepless nights for us. She was crying nearly the entire night last night and around 3 AM, Noel noticed that the zipper of her pjs was pressing on her infection (she sleeps on her stomach). So he put her in different pjs and she finally slept 3 hours without waking up. This morning, the infection is much bigger again (more swollen and red). We called the doctor and he said it's very possible the zipper is the cause of the increased inflammation. So, we're watching it for 24 hours and will see what happens during that time. Each day that passes that the infection does not go down makes us more and more nervous that she will not be cleared for surgery Friday, which is the last day we can do the surgery if it's to happen before our scheduled trip to Michigan.

We will keep praying for the infection to go away and that the surgery can proceed as scheduled, so you can go on your vacation and get some relaxation!
