Abby had a very good yesterday! She met
and chatted with the band members of 98 Degrees. (98 degrees was a very popular boys band in the late '90's).
Band members Drew and Nick Lachey are local to Cincinnati; they have also been in
the limelight lately for winning Dancing with the Stars and hosting the Sing
Off. They are very active in local
charities and often come to Cincinnati Children's for visits with the sick
kids. They definitely made Abby feel better! (and Mom)
Medically,
Abby is going to have surgery in the very near future to insert G-J tubes (
feeding tubes and drainage tubes) into her stomach. This will make her feel a lot more comfortable since it means the tubes currently in
her nose will be taken out and lead out of her abdomen. The tubes are irritating her esophagus and nasal passages which have been causing: excess inflammation, pain and discomfort, and excess secretions (saliva).
She hasn't gained any weight this week so
far and her stomach issues are still hampering her recovery. So please
keep her in your prayers.
