Sam's Home

Sam has improved so much that he has been released to the care of the home health service. He will need the antibiotic IV's running continuously for at least two more weeks but they provided all the equipment and the IV's and medications will be delivered to the house. I've been as trained as I can be I think, at least I'm no longer stabbing myself with the syringe when I try to draw the medications for which my left thumb is very grateful.

A nurse will come to do the daily blood drawing and check up on him and we've been set up to do his follow-up stuff with a pulmonary specialist at UCLA. Our own doctors think they've connected the dots at last between the various conditions but want to get UCLA to confirm everything and consult on a course of treatment.

Now the hard part is keeping him to the doctors schedule. He of course wants to return to work asap. They of course said NO WAY. Perhaps he can start light work in a couple of weeks but in the meantime I'm going to disable his car and his boss has told him if he even thinks about coming by security has been instructed not to let him in.
