Having a "Ball"!

We are having a ball being home and all back together! I think we all appreciate each other a little more!

Giving Sallie's Meds is going well. Home health came a few times and we have now taken over. They will continue to come out and check on her, do vitals, clean and change dressing on picc once a week and do weekly blood draws. We were not sure what to expect as far as the set-up for the IV Meds. She had a central line years ago and we are thrilled with advancement. The medicine is inside a ball that is calibrated to run for the amount of time it is given. The Meds run through the line and the ball shrinks. It is SO much easier. We do the flushes still of course but the hook-up is easier and she can move around while it is running.

We had to organize all our supplies and Meds! She is on more oral Meds now and the ear cleanings so we put all that stuff on its own box and I even made a list of when to give what! We just needed something to keep us straight!

The last 2 pics here I saw when I was looking at pics. These were taken the Sat before Sall went in hospital. A took the little girls and went to WM for groceries. I have mot been to WM since Christmas! i don't miss it! A really does not like going to WM so I was very thankful he did this for me! I am sure he was hungry! He had to run in the mall to take a return to Old Navy so they ate mall Chinese which I probably would not eat! They had a ball! Also you can see Lizzie's lack of 2 front teeth! She lost 1 while we were in AL and the other right after we got home. It is precious!
