Thursday, September 8: Day 5 at Home

There hasn't really been too much to report, so I'll start writing blog entries only when there's news.

Today we met with the Infectious Disease Dr. Everything's going well and Kevin's numbers are good though it's still a wait & see game. Our next appt with him is in THREE weeks and it's hard for Kevin to realize we might be waiting that long. But he is at home and comfortable in the mean time.

Kevin's #1 goal is to get his drain removed. It's still producing fluid so it's not ready to be taken out, but it's driving him crazy. It's in an awkward place, it keeps him inside and limits his activities, and it's the only reason he requires pain pills occasionally. We see the surgeon tomorrow and will get a better idea about the drain then.
