Mae has her CT scan and comes home

Thanks to all of you wonderful people, we met the wonderful matching challenge and received donations and donation pledges for what Mae needed today and actually a tiny bit more.

Here's little Mae Mae with Monica, the surgery tech, looking a little worse for the wear after her procedure - Mae, not Monica - Monica always looks very alert and happy.  Mae on the other hand, was just a bit tired.

Dr. Hottinger, of the GCVS surgical team, did her procedure.  They did a CT scan of her sinus area to see how effective the antibiotics have been.  Here is one frame from the scan.

This scan shows the problems in Mae's left sinus cavity.  The right shows a lot of black, which are the open areas, the left side is almost completey gray - which shows where the pus and infection still resides.  Although a bit better than six weeks ago, she's still not healed.

 

I have to talk to the internal medicine specialist next week (he was out of town today) to see what we can do to hasten Mae's healing.  Perhaps weekly nasal flushes. 

 

From what I understand, GCVS has several cases of this type of super bug each week going through treatment now.  Scary, isn't it.
