Cat keeps train running

Hello from Cat,
I hope you are not frustrated by now. Paul got released from St Joe's yesterday and it has been a rollercoaster ride for us both. Of course, we are thrilled to be home and Paul can wander to his heart's content in and around the house. He knows to go no further or I will kick his you know what ( not really but the threats seem to work). After we made it home, I got some prescriptions for him and then the home health care nurse paid us a visit. Her name is Kathy, so thank god I don't have to remember that..... I got a mini course in IV management. She is a good teacher and I think I got it down. No choice, must do it and do it right!!! We are now giving Paul liquid nourishment (PT) in a nice bag that we hook up to a pump and he can put the bag in a backpack and carry it around with him. He is on 2 types of antibiotics through the IV and he checks his blood sugar as well. The refridgerator looks like something in a doctor's office.
His temperature is staying down now, thankfully. He still feels nausea, so he feels that it is best to wait until next week to see visitors. As far as food, he doesn't have the appetite yet. I am rooting for the day when he can sit down to a good meal and use hot sauce. I suppose I should document the day with photos. I will post again because Mr P gave me my permission slip and I am really wanting his fan club to know he loves you all. He will be happy to see you when he gets more energy. We both could use a good night of sleep. I will sleep better when I know he can. Thanks to all of you who have called asking about his progress. We will want to see you , and as I get the time, I will call or email you. If you want to contact me, my email is cathryn.artist@gmail .com and I would love to hear from you if you have questions about food and or "visitation rights". It is so beautiful outside, I am hoping that I can get him out in our backyard to "hold court" or at least hold himself up. It is hard to see someone we know is such a vibrant person not be able to jump right back into his life. I have great feelings about his future and with You All to help, and believe me, if you feel helpless, there is alot of time down the tracks where we can use your help, we will get him up and running and smiling his great Paul smile.
Love to all of you bloggians out there,
Cathy
