We made it through the night without any fevers. Stomach has calmed down quite a bit as well. The plan remains to go home today. We will be giving him antibiotics through his port while he is at home. The antibiotic they had planned to send him home on would be given four times a day and runs in over four hours. The doctor who is covering the service just for a day decided that's kind of a difficult regimen and switched him back to one of the antibiotics he was on during this admission. It is given three times a day at noon, 8 pm, and 4 am (ugggh), but only takes about 15-30 minutes to run in, and overall will be much nicer. So excited to not be loading him with so much through his IV. We will have home health services come and instruct Mom how to be a nurse. She's excited and I'm certain she is going to want to go back to school and become a nurse after all this is over:)
We appreciate all the prayers, babysitting, meals, visits while in the hospital. It is so nice to know that so many have been willing to bear this burden with us.
