I know i'v been a slacker w/ the blog lately, and i do apologize. I have been busy, but thats no excuse.
So Tucker is doing great!!! We were discharged from the hospital on Monday. YEA!!! We didnt get to go home yet though. We have to stay at the Ronald Mcdonald House for now. That is because there are a few loose ends yet. The biggest thing is Tucker still has his central line in , that is because he still needs platlets every couple days. So till that comes out we will still be in Philly. They dont want us going far because w/ that line there is aslways chance of infrction. He also has a feeding tube. He was having trouble figuring out how to eat again, but the last 2 days he has started figuring it out and we havent used the tube hardly at all.
Tucker is the happiest baby, he just smiles all day long. All his nurses at CHOP were so happy for him to go, but they were very attached to him, and it was a bittersweet moment when we left, kind of ironic almost, but the nurse who had been his very first nurse, also ended up being his nurse the day we left, &she was teary eyed as we were leaving.
So for now we are still in Philly till the line comes out. He has a Drs appt on Monday, so we will know more then, & I promise to keep this blog updated.
