Day 7 and Day 8...We are Home!

Mommy talked to Dr. Porras on Monday and begged him to send us home. He knows how confident we are with the NG tube feeds and all of the medications, so we got the OK for Tucker to continue his recovery at home. Tucker is still taking his Lasix, Zantac and now 40 mg of Aspirin for his medications. The dietician thinks the polycose that was added to his formula to make it 30 calorie formula made it sweeter, and may explain why he is not eating. The plan was to slowly ramp him back up to 30 calories and then slowly bring him back to 20 calorie formula, hopefully this will solve his feeding issues. At home everything is hectic because almost everything was packed because we did not think we were returning to the apartment before the move to our new house. So everyone is pretty much down to two changes of clothing and all of our dishes, silverware and food were packed. Spencer has a couple of his action figures and his Legos for toys, and we had to find something to make Tuckers formula in. The next couple of days will be crazy and we may not be able to update the blog until Friday night or Saturday morning because Gary has to disconnect all of the cable boxes, TV's and the computer and wireless so the stuff is ready when the movers arrive on Friday.
