Natasha is coming home!!!!!! Drain free!!!!!!
💕💕💕

09/25/2025

Got to see Natasha after her procedure for a little bit. Doc said if he couldn't get anymore fluid out this repositioning they are going to talk about surgery. He was able to get 10 ml of thicker fluid out and positioned it to get out any fluid from multiple pockets.

We still don't have an exact name for this growth, whether it's a cyst or abscess because the fluid came back negative for being the source of infection.

We are all puzzled, but it also came back negative for malignancy! Another little win!

This "thing", however, is growing into her o***y. We don't know what the next steps are, but she did well with this last procedure.

Her fever is gone, but doctors don't know why her WBC is still elevated. They haven't taken blood work today, so maybe this last procedure will be the ticket for her to go home??

Update:

Her procedure is being pushed to tomorrow.

Good morning, everyone!

Bad news, Natasha will be having another drain repositioning procedure today. Her WBC went back up again this morning.

She will be staying another day. We are praying this is the last repositioning she will have to endure. We are praying for minimal pain, precision by the doctor, and that this will be the last compartment in the cyst that needs to be drained and it gets all the fluid out this time!

Doctors are being very diligent about doing everything they can to ensure Natasha won't have to have surgery. We are blessed by this and thankful for the discernment of her medical team, who has been quick on the draw each time something comes up!

Thank you for being so kind and praying for us all!

Natasha is doing well today, she came through the procedure very well to have the drain tube repositioned into another pocket of infection and it is doing its job getting all the "ick" out!

The fluid the doctor was able to get out the first time and this time are being sent out for testing to better understand if this was viral or bacterial so they can help her better. She will be on oral antibiotics for a time so she wouldn't have a reason to stay in the hospital, which is awesome!

If she keeps improving throughout the night, Natasha should be discharged tomorrow!!

Please pray she can come home and she continues to heal! Granite and Natasha are beyond ready to come home!

Natasha was doing better yesterday, her WBC went down and her fever broke.

This morning she had a very low grade fever but everything else is improving.

Doctors spoke with her and Granite this morning about repositioning the drain tube because it's no longer drawing out any other fluids because of the different pockets of infection. Granite updated me and said they have a time set for 12:30 PM for the repositioning!

It is our hope this will further Natasha's progress in healing and she will be able to come home soon!

It's been awhile since we've updated. There haven't been many answers.

Natasha wasn't able to go home today. Her white blood cell count, fever, and heart rate went up this morning so she couldn't be discharged.

She had another CT scan this afternoon and it showed her cyst/abscess compartmentalized. The doctors weren't able to drain the entire thing.

If her fever and WBC doesn't resolve itself with antibiotics over the beginning of the week, she will be referred to two other specialists to talk about possibly having surgery and what options will go along with that.

As always, God willing, we pray she doesn't need anymore surgery and this will resolve over the weekend/beginning of the week. We know it's not what we plan but God's plan and we have given it to Him. We do continue to pray for a miracle healing over Natasha.

This will probably be the last update until we have a concrete answer of what needs doing. We appreciate all prayers for Natasha and we thank all of you sincerely for doing just that! ❤️🙏🏼

Natasha has been out of her procedure for a few hours.

We are waiting for the OK for her to be released!

We know it's a slim chance, but we are praying for a discharge tonight or early tomorrow morning!! We are waiting to hear from the doctor!

❤️❤️❤️

Natasha is prepped and ready for a CT scan before her procedure. They will take her back after the CT. The abscess will be drained as much as possible and then a drain tube will be placed for whatever fluid they are unable to get.

Right now her blood pressure is a little low for the doctor's liking, but Natasha has always had a lower blood pressure.

They are unsure if she will be released after the procedure or they will keep her until her fever breaks. Doctor has good bedside manner and has been explaining as much as he can if they've had questions or concerns. He will do what he can to make sure the light sedation is enough for Natasha to not be aware of what's happening around her. That is her biggest concern.

Per nurse update:

Procedure could be moved up as early as 12:30 PM.

Natasha's white blood cell count is up this morning.

She has been doing no food and minimal water since 12 AM.

We don't have a concrete time on procedure, but another CT scan is set for 2 PM today. We are under the impression her procedure will be a little after that so they can update the position of the abscess before draining it.

Another uncertainty, because she has the high white blood cell and fever, she may not be released until the fever breaks.

That's all I have for now. Please pray for Natasha, Granite and our parents. Parents will be leaving Bonners sometime today to be there for the procedure.

Update from Granite a few minutes ago.

Nurse just updated us that per Dr. Henderson, the MRI does confirm abscess. Tasha will be NPO after midnight and IR drainage sometime tomorrow whenever they can fit her in. No known time yet.

Please pray for them both, especially Natasha has peace about this and can get some rest before tomorrow.
