Alice had a relatively good day today. This morning's pain has subsided. The remaining two drainage tubes came out, but the one 'wound' from the tube kept on oozing ... seems like it stopped now, but it is likely to be from all the movement today (according to the physiotherapist). Apparently it wasn't very painful when they removed it, but it felt very weird when they pulled it out. She also walked around twice, which I believe is very good. And her sats is 100%. At the moment she is waiting to see the Doctors and to get the results from x-rays that was taken earlier today - she's quite nervous about this, as it will determine whether she needs some more drainage tubes.

She's also very excited to watch Private Practice (the 1st season started last week here is South Africa) as she missed the first episode ... And she is enjoying a coffee table book about Elizabeth I, which her mom bought for her.

I think, all and all, a good day!
