Drains come out

Mary Jo is doing pretty good today. We had an appointment with her plastic surgeon, Dr. Luong this morning and Mary Jo was able to get her temporary "JP drains" removed. JP Drains are three foot long tubes on both Mary Jo's right and left sides, coming out of incisions in her chest and connected to small suction bottles that collect excess fluids from the breast surgery. We meet with the oncologist next Monday and again with the plastic surgeon. She continues to improve day by day. Getting the drains out should make things so much more comfortable for Mary Jo.
