14 Aug Looks like…
Our schedule for tonight:
10:45pm – Start TPN
11pm – Go to sleep
1am – Give IV benadryl and start IV antibiotics; change diaper
1:20am (if I’m lucky) – Go back to sleep
3am – Stop antibiotics; flush and lock line with heparin; check diaper again.
3:20am – Maybe go back to sleep
5:30am – Gray’s alarm goes off
6am – Hopefully drag myself back out of bed to run
8am – Keegan (please, please, please) wakes up
8:45am – Stop and flush TPN
9am – Give IV benadryl; start antibiotics….etc….etc….etc….
So looks like for the next week or more I will not get more than 2 hours of sleep in one stretch.
Let me contain my enthusiasm.
Sometimes….maybe,just maybe…it’s not so much of a relief to be home, rather than inpatient.
Certainly helps so much that waiting for us at home was:
– More insult from drought/heat to our already cracked foundation so that Keegan’s bedroom door now will not close;
– Statements from United Healthcare that our $12,000 deductible (yes, you read that correctly) that had previously been met as of April was now miraculously UN-met. Not even not met but rather at a big fat whopping $0. Along with a bill for an insulting amount from my GI doctor.
Welcome home, Harrisons.
Welcome *sigh* home.
