Default My baby is home

Thanks everyone, we are home now. He is asleep on the sofa next to me, still a little drugged up, they gave him a pain pill this morning, they said he should be perked up by 8p tonight.

His diarrhea still has not cleared up completely, but it's not bloody anymore so they are letting him come home in the hopes that bring home in his normal surroundings will help him get better. He ate a little boiled chicken at the clinic this morning of course he can't just live off of that, nit enough nutrients. I'm hoping he'll eat his good this evening since he's home now. However if his diarrhea doesn't clear up by Tuesday I have to take him back. We also have to go back the week of the 6th so they can draw more blood and check his levels when he is better to try and determine if there are underlying causes for his HGE. His official diagnosis is severe HGE with probable PLE. When he goes back for bloodwork, if his levels are still low they will want to do a biopsy of his GI tract. They sent him home with a few medications: probiotic, antibiotic, H2-blocker/antacid and anti-nausea.

I am so happy to have him home and hoping that being at home will speed up his recovery. Thank you everyone for all your support during this time. (((HUGS)))
