Friday Evening

I have been home most of the day with the kids. Jon has done pretty well today. He had two small meals/snacks. Pain wise, he just asked for some IV pain meds. His abd is quite sore where they placed the gastrostomy tube, and his lower back he thinks from his upright position in bed most of the time. This am we met with homecare. He will be getting IV TPN for nutrition during the night at home. I will be able to manage it all, since I have used the same pump at work with patients. Everyone has stressed the importance of Jon going home and focusing on resting, getting stronger and trying to gain weight. He will follow up with the oncologist in 3 weeks. At this point his body could not handle anymore chemo. He needs to put on a good amount of weight and have a stablization of his liver function tests. He is a fighter, and we do believe miracles happen. Kiss your loved ones goodnight...
