Weston 2.0 Update

TCH Day 30::Post-Transplant Day 18

I see the light! It is bright and beautiful! Growing stronger by the minute!!
I see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

The night Weston had his transplant, someone asked me how long I thought he'd be hospitalized. I pulled out my calendar and said "February 16th". If we had all our home supplies available, we would go home tomorrow. Unfortunately, we don't....
So, we'll have to settle for Thursday!!!!
(I'm still taking credit for my nursing intuition. It is supplies keeping us here, not recovery!)

So, Wes is doing fabulous!
So fabulous that he decided at 5am that he didn't want nor need this stupid NG tube anymore.



I mean, could you argue with this face???

Evidently, they could. NG tube is back in place. That was unpleasant.
I spent the ten face-tape-free minutes just kissing and pinching those sweet chubby cheeks!

As a preliminary discharge celebration, we went exploring and found a garden and W got the first bit of fresh air in a month!! He acted like a mole, all squinty and such.




He's eating pretty well, taking 3-3.5oz out of the 5.5oz they want him to eat at each feeding. We are having to put the rest in his tube. Looks like we'll probably go home with the tube. It's ok, I'm glad to have it right now for meds. He will have to take 11 medications everyday. One as much as 9mls!

I estimate ~36 hours left!!


Cuteness Since Saturday...






Weston's stalker fish. Seriously.

Happy Valentine's Day, Ladies.
