Gown and Gloves



So Camden is now on precautions since his stool sample yesterday showed C. Difficile. Not a huge surprise, it did get us a private room, but it also means that Maddie is unable to play in the playroom. Ugh!! So I come into the hospital a little later with her and Andy takes her for her nap, or lunch. Today he even took her on another train ride in town to the Prudential Building. He wanted to show her the city.

Camden needs to have and antibiotic for 7 days to re balance the GI tract and then have another stool sample sent. We also clamped his G tube yesterday. He did vomit last night so it was reattached to gravity, but today they re clamped it and started him on Reglan. So far, so good. We may even increase him up to 3 bottles a day, maybe on Monday if he is doing well.

Andy and I are finishing up the discharge teaching checklists, Andy even changed his central line dressing last night, and did a great job! We have to go home this week to get his car seat (for the important car seat endurance test!). I think Maddie and I will stay home for the week and get the house cleaned, organized and ready for Camden to come home!! We have a tentative window of January 15 to 22, but I am thinking it will be closer to the 22nd. Anybody up for some cleaning?!?!?!

Wonderful news, Yes I would love to come help get ready for the BIG day for Camden to finally see his home. I could come either next Sat or Sun 12 or 13 let me know. If you think of anything else let us know. Love the picture of Maddie and Camden.
