Mac was finally able to come home yesterday after 2 weeks in the hospital. He will return next Wednesday for a visit to the clinic and then be admitted the following week for another round of chemo. Hopefully he will remain home for the whole 2 weeks!
The new portacath is working out well. The g-tube is working out REALLY well. It is so nice to have the fights about taking meds! He gets 12 hours of nutrition overnight and we are hoping now that he is home he will start to eat and drink more. Now that we no longer have to battle about his meds our new goal has become to try to fatten him up!
When leaving the hospital yesterday Mac said "I'm glad we finally got out of that place." I couldn't agree more. I felt like I had won the lottery when I was signing the discharge papers. We are all looking forward to some family time and Mac is just happy he is home in time for the release of The Avengers!
There is no place like home!!!!! I am glad to hear the feeding tube is working well. No more fights for meds will be a WONDERFUL thing!
