Well not exactly, but home with Dad. Adam was dismissed from the hospital today after a battle with his PICC line. They (they being the nurses) normally just pull these out with no problem, however Adam's vein spasmed and caused it to clamp down on the catheter, which in turn caused the line to get stuck! OUCH!
So after several hours of warm compresses to allow the vein to expand the picc line was fully removed and discharge from the hospital was inevitable.
The second session of chemo went rather well. Very little if no nausea and he seems to tolerate it very well. Expect for draining him of energy, he is doing very well. The port site looks great. As his nurse said it was a "text book" procedure. He seems to also be tolerating it very well as well. Very little pain is associated with it. He says it feels as though his muscles are sore like he has been working out.
He actually has gained a little weight, and has even grown a little.
Adam started the New Year off here at dads and will go home on Sunday.
