We're Home!

Angie wrote yesterday's blog. We got to see some of the doctors this morning to ask questions, etc. They are leaving his adomen drain in for a couple more days, but took out the last neck drain and the doppler cord on his neck and IV on his wrist. The nurse last night and a different nurse this morning showed us how take care of the drain and his incisions. They gave us LOTS of supplies. He can probably get the drain out this Wednesday. I am supposed to see if our doctor in Corvallis would be available to do that (he has been gone for a while now for medical reasons), otherwise we will go back up to OHSU this Wednesday for that. I need to call OHSU tomorrow about follow up appointments. He can't play any sports or lift anything over 10 lbs. for about 6 weeks. I helped Curt take a shower and get dressed. We waited for his lunch and got a little something to eat too before we left. Angie helped me carry everything to the car. Curt walked to the car but was getting a little tired. We left after noon. It is a rainy day. Curt only slept part of the way home. We got here after 2. I made a grocery run and asked a pharmacist about his aspirin in the morning and Tylenol for pain. I left Curt to go over our mail and papers. Kathleen brought us some gluten free homemade soup for tonight. What great family and friends we have! I still have lots of things to put away.
