(Yes, Rosanne it is 6:23am on Sunday-I am now Cody's home care nurse and doing his IV antibiotics!)
YES, we are home! My dad and stepmom said I did not seem excited when I called them. I am happy to be home, just that it adds another stress level to me. When you are in the hospital, all seems to be taken care of. Once home, it is me! Just added stress but we are home.
We came home to lots of surprises! Apparently when I came home Thursday, there was a money wreath hung on the wall near my tree and I did not notice it. Well, I did today! It has cash, scratch offs and gift cards! Once again, it is from my family at SH! Amazing and so thankful and full of love.
I had all my teacher gifts under the tree. It really looked like Santa came. Moira was on her way to her sister's so we met her about the same time and Cody got his dogs back which made him VERY happy. As I sit here writing, my suitcase is still in the car. I did a few things here, got his meds and made dinner before I sat down. Then the delivery came with the IV meds. The visiting nurse came at 10:15pm because that was when his next dose was. So we were up till 12:00. His antibiotic is every 8 hours so that makes me up now doing it. But I plan to dose once it is all done. We have to do this until the 30th I think it is. Anything to keep that bug away!
So today looks like a chill day. Maybe a movie later but not much else on the agenda. Cody did well, rested, ate some steak and then some snacks. He needs some time to bounce back. But great to be home!
Mary,
ReplyDeleteI share your stress and hope that as you get used to it, you'll be fine. You've done it before, you can definitely do it again! Glad you are home, bowled over by the kindness of your friends and am so glad that you are so loved and supported.
kisses, hugs, healing vibrations and merry Christmas wishes to you both.
