Coming home on TPN

Well a preliminary report from Dave is back and they are wanting to put simon on TPN (its iv nutrition) for a week. He has lost 2 pounds and he cannot afford to lose any so 2 pounds is alot for him. I knew this morning he looked too thin. He has never really been on TPN so this to me feels like a major set back and I am very scared for a number of reasons. The good news so far is that they said he could come home and we could administer it at home. That means getting home health out today (which isn't always easy) and us having to have his port in his chest accessed for a week with us flushing it with heparin so it doesn't clot and making sure he doesn't pull it out, which too will not be easy given how active he always is. They are trying to get a stool sample but because he has vomitted or had diarrehea and has not eaten anything so far they have not gotton one. Hope that they do so we can tell what is going on with him. Please continue to pray that this virus or bug leaves his system quickly and we can resume the healing process for a complete recovery. God Bless. Please enjoy the day, it is a gift of the greatest power and if you are just going about your day, you are lucky. Love Tracy
