Well for those of you who arent able to get on his caring bridge. he is hopefully going home today. They are waitin gon the last x ray. Which he is getting probably as I speak. i am at home, getting things situated while Chris is up at the hospital with him. I am heading up in a few minutes to hopefully gather his things and bring him home.
He had the last two chest tubes removed yesterday, and the central line in his neck will be removed when he is discharged, no PICC line, for Abx, only oral Abx, as the cultures came back no PA. So he doesnt have to have the IV tobra and Ceftaz as they thought, but he will be on oral ABX for about two weeks to kick his normal bugs that he used to grow that still linger in his upper airways. But thanks to his new lungs he will hopefully be able to get rid of them!
He is doing fantastic! He was running around the ward last night! RUNNING!!! I told you they would have to tie him down once they took those tubes out. they thought he was full of energy before Tx, they had no idea! lol
We have the guest room downstairs made up for him so he doesnt have to walk up and down the stairs when he gets home, and he is so excited to have a room of his own, with a TV.
thank you all for your prayers and for all of the well wishes and cards. It really means alot!
Talk to you all soon!
