Thanks Jo!

Yes, yesterday happened to also be our anniversary and DH did come home in the late afternoon complete with a PICC line to receive intravenous antibiotics 3x a day.

We spent two hours with the nurse who came to house to show us how to clean the line, inject the drug, clean the line again etc. DS is now the main caregiver and is doing a marvelous job!

The nurse will come back every few days and the drug will be delivered as needed for the two or so weeks he has to take it before going back to the infectious disease specialist.

It was enough of an anniversary present just to have him home!

We still don't know the cause of the infection but the CT scan showed a hernia around his appendix and his appendix is slightly inflamed and will be watched by doctors.

And if returning to his normal behavior is a sign of healing DH is definitely doing that! When awake, he is his usual cranky self wanting to order us around and be waited on We have to remind him that he is no longer in the hospital with a call button and nurses to do things!

His appetite has returned and he is very happy to be home!

K.

I am glad to hear a great update. I will still continue praying for him.

Thank you Darla and minijeanie and Jo and Princess!

Yesterday was a bad day despite the fact that he didn't run a fever

Testing was delayed and then they decided to run a CT scan at 7:30 pm.

Then they brought in an elderly new roommate who spoke no English and "required" a young "live in" female translator in their teeny, tiny room. The roommate also used a very noisy C-PAP machine.

So after being denied a window view all these 4 days I hit MY LIMIT!

I requested a room change and he was moved to a new room and got a window (and immediately another roommate....!)

Maybe we will find out if he can be released today or if the scan found any infection in his body. The infectious disease specialist doesn't think the dental work link to his heart beat irregularity is the cause.

One way or the other; despite his being tired of the hospital I do not want him to come home and get sick again.....

Thanks for listening everyone!

Kathy - Speaking for myself (and I suspect this might go for everyone), anytime you want someone to listen, I'm here. I might not be around 24/7 but I will be around.

Thanks Jo!
