So Far, So Good

Daryl has done well at home, keeping food down the whole time! His TPN started Monday night...."feeding" via IV. What a set-up! We have to hook him up every night to his large IV bag, be sure his lines/ports (whatever...) are clean, be sure the vitamins are mixed into the bags, etc. Lots of needles, syringes, alcohol wipes and hand washing. He should continue this routine through Sunday and then we'll see where his nutritional status is.

Now we're focusing on building his stamina and appetite. Walking several times a day is my answer....

So grateful for our parents who have gone out of their way to lend a hand during the hospital days here and on through yesterday. I can't tell you how blessed we are by the time and energy they've put in. I've been quite uncomfortable with this pregnancy with ligament and back pain, so simple tasks around the house are slow-going - but my mother-in-law and mother have both offered so much help that at least my house doesn't feel like a total disaster area!

Here's a photo of Little Miss "C" yesterday with Nana.
