Home is a No-Go

My sweet husband is still not able to keep even liquids down and he's starting to show signs of malnourishment, so likely he'll start receiving nutrition via an IV today or tomorrow. In my opinion this will be good, as his body needs to heal from surgery and can't do a very good job of it if he's not getting good nourishment. I think it will make him feel better.

So he'll stay at the hospital for now - and he's not really excited about the prospect. He just wants to be home...any of us could understand....yet needs to be here. We'll explore the possibility of him going home with the IV once we see how it goes. The hope is that as his stomach gets better he'll be able to keep down liquids and make some progress.

  4. My heart goes out to Daryl. I can hardly imagine what he must be going through. I continue to pray for God's mercy and healing. Praying that the IV will help in getting his strength back. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
