Discharge Today...Sometime

It takes minutes to get in the hospital, but it takes hours to get out. I guess that is as it should be. Paul had another good night. He ate some pizza last night and some snacks. He continues to get "TPN" which is the name for IV nutrition to help him gain back some weight and get all is vitamins, minerals, etc. during these days of poor appetite and sore mouth. Makes sense; the problem is that we need to continue it at home for the next five days or so. That means that we have to coordinate with a "home health" agency, get the "food" and get educated again on how to hook up everything. It's fairly complex. Leigh has always been in charge of TPN when we did it in the past, but that has been a couple of years and she'll need a refresher course (so I will have to pay attention today when it is explained to me). I'm sure it will all work out, but it means Paul and I need to stay around today longer to get all the stuff.

Anyway, Paul will be home for a few days. We'll then finish up radiation M-W next week, have a couple clinic visits to check counts, and then start talking about revaluation scans. There really is no big break in site at this point, but that is OK because this whole thing is in the hands of the Lord. He gives us enough "manna" to make it through each day...and even doing so with joy. Thanks for praying. (-:
