I'm so glad to hear she's getting better. Having a hysterectomy with an uneventful recovery is hard enough; I can't imagine how hard hers must be. Please let her know that we're still thinking of her and keeping her in our prayers.

Glad she is on the mend. She sure had some setbacks with the additional surgeries.

I'm glad to hear she is improving. I spent nearly three months in the hospital years ago and know how trying that can be for her and your family. Sending prayers and well wishes your way.

***** update 8/23 SHE'S HOME!**** also updated in OP
After 47 days in the hospital, and 6 weeks after her original surgery, she is home! She is still on IV antibiotics, and a few other meds, but she is such a determined lady!
She still has some pain and gets fatigued very easy, but seeing her smile last night as she sat on her couch in her living room was awesome! She has two cats and she was so happy to see them. They were just as happy to see her!
She is having a little trouble gaining back her appetite and battling an upset stomach,but she's trying so hard! We play a crazy game all day long where I make 1,000 suggestions of food ideas and MAYBE one MIGHT sound good to her. We'll keep on trying!
She has tests next week and may be able to get her PICC line out then.
Thank you all so much for your support and prayers for her during all of this! She's got a ways to go, but she's determined to get there! Pea Prayers are an amazing thing!

Wow I'm impressed they sent her home on a PICC line. I was in for 18days a picc line for 7 of that. I hope that she continues to be better! It's gotta be much easier to recover at home even hooked up! Well wishes and happy thoughts for her! You're so great to help her!

*****update 9/5 ***** Also updated in OP Sorry it's been a while since I last updated.
She was home less than 24 hours and we had to take her back to the hospital. The first hospital pushed her out WAY too early. They took her off of the fluids and IV food way too soon. She couldn't eat, drink or keep anything down. She wasn't for most of the week before they sent her home. :-( Within that first day she couldn't keep her pain meds, water or food down. She was in pain because she couldn't take her meds and vomiting. So, back we went.
She spent a week in a new hospital again and they added drain back in. When the hospital released her this time, we had her taken to a skilled nursing facility that is 10 minutes away from where we live! Sure beats the 3 hours we were having to drive several times a week.
She's been down here for a week now and her latest CT scan looked good and the last drain came out. She's still not eating great and is on IV antibiotics. We're hoping her appetite pick up soon. Once we get over those hurdles ... Also, the nursing place has Physical and Occupational Therapy. The hospital had none. Basically once you can go to the bathroom by yourself, they sign off of you. SHM.
So, prayers an positive thoughts are still appreciated! She's been at this now for 57 days.

Wow, she has really been through the ringer. She's very lucky to have you in her life to help her at this point. And I'm really happy to see that you were able to get her into a skilled nursing facility so that she is closer to you, and that they have a better plan to make sure she can operate on her own before releasing her. I was horrified to read that the hospital released her when she was unable to eat or keep anything down. Was that the hospital that nicked her colon during her hysterectomy? And I am sure this is the last thing on anyone's mind, but I hope that hospital is paying for her to be in the facility she is currently in. It sounds like they should have transferred her to a nursing facility themselves rather than home when she lives alone.
