I haven’t been great about updating because there really hasn’t been much to say. Up until a week or two ago, Cait still had the wound vac on and had to go to the OR for twice weekly dressing changes. The team there was wonderful to her and because she was there so frequently, the let her include her cats, Chili and Stew on the pet wall.
Now that the wound vac is off, we’ve had discussions about continuing care at home. Cait is nervous about that, but we are going to give it a try and hopefully next week she will be home. Her pain is typically well managed, and her biggest complaints are nausea and fatigue.
In the midst of all this, her older brother is graduating, I’m planning a party for him, and the check engine light in my 14 year old van went on and somehow we are all still mostly sane (or as I like to say, probably a little delusional). After almost four months in the hospital, it will be nice to have Cait home.
