Home from hospital

Tom Here:

Yesterday evening I was released from the hospital. We had a long, slow commute home during rush hour traffic and a snow storm with bad roads and bumber to bumper traffic, and I enjoyed ever minute of it!

I still have the stomach drain and catheter in tow and we will try to get the leak stopped from home.

Today there has been a very encouraging trend. Last night the Foley bag to stomach drain ratio was about 1 to 1, but during the night things began to change. First it was 2 to 1 , then 5 to 1, then 10 to 1 and now there is no significant amounts of urine coming out of the drain at all. This either means that the leak is closing or the drain is plugged. Obviously I hope for the former. The doctor has been notified, and I wait for his call. Hope for the best.

Tom
