Default Home!
After 35 days, a round of antibiotics to clear sepsis, 24 needle sticks, a new PICC line, new pain meds, 4 doses of I.V. lasix, formula trials for my feeding tube, and balancing my crazy calcium levels-I am home! with normal calcium, no sepsis/clean PICC, new formula Optimental, and Fentanyl patch. Still on TPN but my GI doc said that I have enough food going through my stomach to prevent any liver damage or thinning of the intestinal lining typically caused by TPN.



Time to be boring for awhile.

Welcome home!!! I'm so happy for you. You seem to have a fresh start on so much now. Boring will be a welcome change for a little bit!

Take it easy and big hugs on your return.
