Still a very long road ahead of us. He has lost over 25 pounds.
I learned how to connect his 24 hour antibiotic IV late Monday night.
Today I learned how to flush his nephrostomy tube.
I had to leave the Studio very early to wrap him up in Saran wrap (arm and waist) so he could take a quick shower for the first time in 2 weeks.
Then I taught my sister how to do both connection maintenance and drug change over.
I had to talk to 10 different people and schedule 4 appointments. I did a lot of paperwork online.
The great news is we can do it, and keep the visiting nurses to the house to twice a week.
He ate more today than he did the last two weeks.
He sat in the sun and neighbors visited him.
It's a better day.
Oh, it sounds like things are going so much better. I know I missed the problem. Him being home is great news. Your learning how to manage his home medical needs is great news. I am sure that being home, eating and friends in the sunshine will improve his health and spirits. Great News!
