Surgery was today. I had a dentist appt. back in Livonia this morning so Lynda went with me then we went to the hospital. Sat with Veronica and her mom until they took her to surgery around 3:20. Dr. said he was going to go into the breasts, flush things out and remove the implants. After things healed up more they would put the implants back in. When he said he would remove the implants Veronica broke down, said she didn't want to look like a freak. Guess that was probably the final straw along with everything else. We stayed with her mom while they did they surgery, couldn't let her sit there alone and worry.
I guess Veronica did catch a little break. They went into one side and couldn't find any signs of infection so they flushed it and left the implant in. Same thing on the other side. He wasn't sure what caused the fever and spike in white blood cell count but he said everything looked good. He was worried that one of the muscle flaps they moved was dying but said they were both fine. They'll keep her in the hospital on IV antibiotics a few days to make sure any infection is gone.
Hopefully this is just a minor set back and she can start moving forward again.
