Candice's Mom, I haven't had that type of pain but my Doc said that if I got close to 102.5 or worried about something to give him a call... that's what they're there for and they don't mind... If it's severe pain than better be safe than worried as far as I'm concerned...   Keep us posted please!

Is she taking her pain meds as often as she can? I found the blake drain to be horribly uncomforatble. I hated that thing. Where it was postioned made it very difficult to wear clothing. I had to notch my underwear at the sight. I felt like a new women when it came out. I wouldn't say that I had sever pain around the drain. probably a 6 out of 10. I had some slight green drainage at the G tube. I do beleive my temp when up as well. I also got thrush. Be sure she is eating her yogurt that will help with the thrush. That being said... If you are concerned call the doctor. Go with your gut instinct. Don't try to tough it out if you are worried. Belinda

Go ahead and call the doctor. I didn't have a drain but I never had a fever. The doctor will know if this is reason for alarm and they are on call just for this type of thing.

Poor Candice - I have no advise since I am still pre-op, but go with your instinct. Call that doctor. We'll keep Candice in prayer...and you. I know how mothers worry. ;o) Mare

Renee -

Please contact her Dr. right away. That's what they are their for; if it's not a problem they will let you know. If it were me, I'd want to see the Dr. I'm sure it's a long drive, but still ...

Please let us know how she's doing.
