Maddie, Andy and I returned to Boston on Tuesday, to allow for better traveling after yet another snowstorm. It was so nice to be in our own home, and bed. I think I slept better than I have in weeks.
This week Andy and I have been having a lot of in servicing by the hospital staff about Camden's care. We met with Apria people and talked about his infusion therapy (TPN) and enteral feedings (J tube Feedings). We learned about the pumps we will be using at home, and how portable two of the three pumps are. We also have been completing many of the items on the nursing checklist for discharge. We already do much of his care, but things like dressing changes, checking the balloon on his G tube, and things like that, we are being sort of tested on. Camden passed his car seat test Tuesday night. He had to be able to sit in his car seat for 2 hours without any changes in his oxygen level.
Camden is also no longer on contact precautions! His stool sample was negative for C Difficile. That means Maddie can now go in the play room YEAH!!! It also means the staff does not need to gown and glove to enter his room.
Internet problems ... will complete edit this post later.
