Our second week at RM House went just as quickly as the first week. Logan had to go to the hospital every second day for a check up and blood tests.
His appetite is still very small, but he manages to eat small amounts. One of the drugs he is on affects the appetite. So he still gets fed via his NG tube, but only over night now.
Tuesday the 27th september we go back to see the specialist, Logan said he cant wait to see her so she can tell us to go home. Tuesday morning took quite a long time to pass, Logan was looking at the clock every 15minutes, our appointment wasnt untill 1 oclock.
His blood tests the day before were all good, his physical exam was also good so we were told we could go home. Logan couldnt stop smiling.
The first flight we could get was the next morning. WE ARE NOW HOME!!!!!!
We can see an improvement in him over the last couple of days, he is getting colour in his cheeks and his energy levels are improving. Its really good to see him walking around outside with the dog.
Today his appetite has picked up a bit more, twice so far today he has said he is hungry. Tonight we are having his favourite meal, (roast lamb), that will surely get him eating.
Wednesday next week he is due back in Auckland for a check up. Thursday he is going into theatre to have his hickman line taken out. They dont usually take it out for 6 months. With all the questions Logan asked about what he is allowed to do, they decided to take it out so he can start having a lifestyle, they said if he needs anything they will put a temporary line in his hand or arm to give him what he needs. Then we will be home again on friday.
