On Wednesday November 19, Maria was experiencing discomfort in her lower right abdomen. A red patch had developed that became very sensitive to the touch. It became painful for the staff to move her and to change her ostomy appliance.
That afternoon Maria was transported to Hartford Hospital. After a brief visit to the Emergency Department, she was re-admitted.
On Thursday 11/20, the surgery team performed a small bedside procedure to drain the infected area in her abdomen. She is resting more comfortably now and is being treated with intravenous antibiotics. The duration of her stay in the hospital this time is undetermined.
Maria is in ICU on Bliss 11 Rm 14. She can have visitors. It is best to check with Pat before visiting.
Thank you all for your continued support, prayers, and positive energy.
