He's home (for a few days)!

On Friday we waited all day at the hospital for Craig to be released. He will be going back up next Wed. for the next radioembolization on Thurs, 3/30.  They had to arrange for the dextrose 25 to be packaged and a week's supply brought to our room. This took until about 5 o'clock when we received 4 boxes of the fluid on ice that we'll need to keep refrigerated. Each bag will last 24 hours.  We also rcceived the portable pump to take home with us.  It's in a handy backpack that he'll have to carry with him everywhere. The infusion expert changed him from the hospital pole to the portable pump so he could leave. He can't be off the infusion of glucose for more than a few minutes. We waited another hour for the octretide from the pharmacy!  The nurse kept coming in to see if we were still there. We left for home about 6:30. Chase was the work horse and got all the boxes and supplies to the car. Drove home and arrived around 7. Nice people had left us sandwich makings and even homemade chicken noodle soup and yummy rolls and salad.  Thanks everyone!  We are so blessed and thankful for everyone's efforts on our behalf.  We are so lucky to have such great family and friends. Love you all 💚💙
