What's up THIS Wednesday!?!

Sarah gets to go home!!! She got the drain out this morning and we are going home this afternoon! She will be on intravenious antibiotics for another week at home. We are waiting for the the Home Infusion people to come train Rich and I on her PIC line and change the dressing. She sees the doctor again next Thursday and if all is well she gets the line out then. She will have her appendix removed in about 6 to 8 weeks...that will only need an overnight stay.
Again, we can not thank you all enough for the prayers and well wishes. It has truly been overwhelming!!

  37. Yeah! My mother in law had a pic line/ iv antiobiotics for a long time when she was recuperating at home. It was scary at first, only the first few times, but you'll be amazed at how quickly it becomes routine. Everyone of us became experts. Glad she's home and on the mend.
