Matt is home!

Matt got home at 11:30 today.  He went right to their living room couch.  Matt ate some lunch and started to nap when the RN's from Rainbow Hospice came to introduce themselves.  Matt had a hard time staying awake to talk to the Nurse's.  He didn't get very much sleep at the hospital. 

Matt's IV Medications were delivered to his house at 4:00.  The hospice nurse's came back and started Matt's IV in his Picc Line.  He is on a pump and getting his medication at a slow drip for 24 hours.  The nurse will come every day at 2:00 to hook up the new bag.  This will go on until October 9.  Then the medications for this blood infection will be done and hopefully we will not have to worry about that infection anymore!!

Then he should get the picc line out.  After this we pray that he will be able to eat and gain some weight.  He is down to 118.  They were going to weigh him before we left and never got a chance.

Tonight he is going to stay home with his wife, Casey  and relax and sleep!!

Thank you for all your continue thoughts and prayers!
