Been home for 1 week

This week has gone by kind of fast. Everything is going pretty good.

John had an appointment on Friday and that went good. His numbers are all where they should be. His liver function is reading high but has been going down since he was released from the hospital. The Dr's are not worried about it and are pretty sure it is from him being on TPN IV nutrients for so long. John has another appointment tomorrow so hopefully it is still going down. He had a pretty nasty cough and cold, but it is almost gone.

John is sleeping WAY better at home than he was in the hospital :). He is still not eating as much as he should be. He just does not have much of an appetite. But, he does eat 3 small meals a day. He is probably only eating about 1200 calories a day - maybe a little more. They want him at 2200 a day. He is working on it. He has lost about 15 pounds in the past month. I keep telling him at least he had the weight to lose :)

We are walking every day. There is a LLS 5K coming up in 1 1/2 weeks that we are preparing for. John will just walk it, but he is excited to be able to walk 3 miles. Today he walked 1 1/2 miles straight. it took about 40 minutes. The weather has been super nice, so it has been easy to get out. But it is starting to cool off, so I am not sure how easy it will be to go walking. But, hopefully by the end of the week he can walk for 2 miles.

John has been able to go out a few times. He went to Abigail's musical "Suessical" Friday night. He did sit up on the balcony where only the spot lights and stage crew were. So, that was nice that he was able to go and not be surrounded by strange germs. He also went with me to Lowe's today. That place is never crowded so it was good for him. John is loving having time and has finished 2 books this week :) The kids love having him home and he is able to help with homework and has really been helping a lot with Isaiah's reading.

So, gratefully nothing really new going on. John is excited to see 4 of his friends that are driving out from CA this weekend to spend time with him and then his sister Christy comes in one week.
