We lost the irrigation lines today. They had been circulating saline through her abdomen to keep everything moist and happy. It seemed to work well but made a sound like a perpetual bong hit, not that I would know anything about such things. Maybe an analogy to a constantly running coffee percolator would be more appropriate? In any case, that's done. There's been a bit more pain today, especially since the irrigation drain was removed. Nothing outrageous, but more discomfort than there had been.
We've had a couple of attempts to use the new plumbing, but came up firing blanks (she's gonna hate me for that one!). The good news is the sensation is returning. Soon enough it'll all be reanimated. Her diet will switch to soft foods tomorrow morning and we'll really give it a test.
Spirits remain high and it still looks like we should be headed home on Tuesday.
