Day 4 2nd HUP Stay
Hi everyone,
Sorry not to have posted yesterday, but I got back late and joined the Teklits' for dinner last night. Thank you, thank you for a wonderful dinner, complete w/ a Cosmo of course. Joe, you outdid yourself and Bob(or Bonehead, as he's known in certain circles) was salivating when I described the ribs, chops, and all the trimmings. Aren't I the wicked one to give him the details when he's eating HUP cuisine? But thankfully he will be home tomorrow and we'll have something special. He's doing fine. No more fevers since thursday evening. His wbc's are still low, only 2.8 and yesterday his hgb dropped and he got 2 units of blood, so today that was up to 10.4. Probably fell from the infection and getting rehydrated w/ IV fluids....we'll have to keep a close eye on that since it had been so stable before this admission. He's still on IV antibiotics and will most likely come home on them, so he'll get his PICC line placed tomorrow. They have a "PICC Service" that comes and does it in the room using portable x-ray, so hopefully that will happen early and we can get the heck out of Dodge. He's been started back on the oral abx that he's been on forever, so he's pretty much back to baseline. All the cultures have come back negative, meaning no germs grew from any of them. The docs don't really have a reason for that, but say it happens sometimes, but they still believe the line was infected. Bob thinks maybe because he's been on antibiotics for so long that it kept anything from growing....at any rate he's not having any more signs or symptoms, but he needs to finish the course of IV abx that were started.
So thank you again, one and all, for the blogs, cards, good thoughts and prayers. km, you crack me up as always. I had no visuals until you described them, and anything you want to make is sure to be delish. BTW did Bon share any recipes w/ you? bkh, good for you for blogging, and "Bonehead" sends his love to "Stonehead". Deb, I was remiss in mentioning your wonderful blueberry crisp, and thank you again for a very, very nice evening. Thanks to Joey and Mikey too for making me laugh....you guys are great entertainment. Love to you all.
I'll write tomorrow to keep everyone posted.
All our love,
Bob and Mo

we've had a busy weekend.. patrick came home on friday night..sat. mark had a bb tournament , came home with 4 kids from the team, then 6 or patrick's friends came over!! I just threw as many hot dogs on a grill as i could and called it dinner for all of them..(with some chips, bagel bites, and other "fillers"...we're talking 14 & 16 yo).. it worked..then mark played 2 more games today in 107 degree heat!!!so a long hot weekend...
Don't try to do too much tomorrow when you get out..and for heavens sakes..stay away from infectious stuff!!take it easy... mdf
Hi, guys!
hopefully you'll be reading this in the comfort of your home (or deck, if it's not too hot). It's been busy around here. Guess summer's like that. Vacation, remodeling and finding place to store Kate's stuff. She was home this weekend and is flying out to CA for an interview next weekend. She's hoping to move out in Aug. and doesn't want to send a lot of stuff to the other coast, so we're trying to make space here.
We're getting a dog end of Aug. - Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. He was born last week and we went down to Maryland see him yesterday. That's gonna be an adjustment!! They grow to 110-130 lbs. or more, but low energy (like me) and great tempreaments, so it'll be good.
You guys have continually been in my prayers, even if I don't get to blog often. Here's to a quick rebound and lotsa' time at home.
Love, Mussie
Welcome Home Roberto!
Ok i picture you on the deck (just for a brief visit, it's too hot) and then enjoying a nice glass of iced tea with Mo in your living room. Isn't life grand when you can be in your own house and Bed with your honey by your side?
All is well here, just getting stuff ready so i can fly the coop where no one will find me. Getting cold feet if you know what i mean. I think i need a pound cake. (Uh Oh it's monday and the bakery is closed!!!!) Well enjoy being home and i will see you guys this week. Lots o love.....Deb
