We had friends fly in from out of town today/tonight (something planned a while ago) so we came right back to a houseful of guests. Moses has mostly been in his bed and is still running a 101 temp, but he is so glad to be home and is ready to have a night of sleep without having labs drawn every 4 hours.

When the trauma team came to discharge us, he had a pretty sobering conversation with us. He told us Moses is very lucky to be alive. He said when he first saw Moses’ CT scan he wasn’t sure Moses would make it. He told us Moses is still VERY fragile. He said he thinks there’s a 40% chance he will end up with an abdominal abscess in the next 2-3 weeks due to all the blood/debris/dying liver in his abdomen. That would mean he would need a drain put in. He also said he has about a 30% chance of having internal bleeding again in the next few weeks. So we will need to be watching him closely for any changes. They said his first follow up will be in 10 days unless we end up in the ER before then with complications.
