Day13 Here is Stan saying"good-bye to his companion.'the pole" Today the doctors came in and said that Stan would be released from the hospital TOMORROW!!!! (which is a week earlier than we expected). All his counts are going in the right direction--the extra fluid is coming off,he is on all meds by mouth and has not had a headache in 24 hours. We still do have a few things to do before he gets to leave. Today we watched videos about diabetes and we will be having a class this afternoon about his diet and how to use the monitor for his blood glucose levels and how to give insulin shots. (hopefully the diabetes will go away once he is off the steroids---they are aiming for Friday for all steroids to be done). Also, he has to have his 3 prong port (CVC) exchanged for a 2 prong port. We also have to get prescriptions and all the meds and supplies that Stan will need (quite a list!) He also has to get rid of his "pole".
SOOOOO-as of TUESDAY,AUGUST 28th--do not call the hospital room number------
use the apartment # 713-667-1308
or
my cell # 518-339-3295
On a final note for today---NOW Stan is loosing his hair---new pictures to follow tomorrow!
