Ray was released from Duke on Friday and Riley and I brought him home! Riley rode with me and surprised her Daddy!
He
is happy to be back at his own house, in his own bed, able to rest and
be comfortable and sleep "normal hours" not hospital hours!
The kids and of course "Scout" were and are happy to have him home too!
We
go back to Duke on Wednesday for a check up with the surgeon, I am sure
they will probably remove staples that day as well from surgery.
Ray
continues at home with IV antibiotics once a day. We both learned how
to hook him up and administer them (which is way easier than I
imagined!)It is actually quite cool!
A home heath nurse will come twice a week to change the bandage/dressing on his picc line and to draw blood.
I
am sure at our Wednesday visit we will learn more about how much longer
he will need to heal, when he can begin driving, etc....
It
was a good, low key FEVER free weekend! The quietest we have had in
what seems like WEEKS! Somehow Ray even surprised me with getting
flowers delivered for Mothers Day and he and the kids cooked me a
mothers day breakfast, so those were both unexpected treats!
Thank
you all for the cards, texts, emails, words of encouragement, Facebook
messages, sharing our post with church groups, members, bible studies to
pray for Ray, etc....it has meant the world to us and continues to.
We
as that you continue to pray against this infection, healing of this
billary duct that was operated on a few weeks ago- that it was
successful and for swelling/inflammation of that area to go down and for
all numbers- liver and kidney to go BACK down to normal and stay that
way. We pray that we are coming down the other side of this mountain
now.
Thanks friends!
Ray and Janet
Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be
made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a
plain.
