11/11/14

The day didn’t at all start the way that was planned but BH it ended the way we hoped. At 6:30AM they took Eli to the pre-op area for a 7:30 surgery. At 7:40 the nurse tells me with no explanation that surgery has been cancelled. I was adamant that I was not going to leave the room or area under I either got a valid reason or they do the surgery. Thank gd I was a stubborn brat because at the end of the day it was a miscommunication and a few hours after the initial schedule we were finally given the go ahead and at 11:30 they wheeled Eli into the OR.

We got the good news at about 12:30 that the procedure went well and by 2PM they had things moving and had gotten in touch with the pharmacy to deliver the IV meds to our home. They haven’t yet determined the exact nature of the infection and therefore for the time being Eli is still on 2 separate IV antibiotics each needs to be given 3X daily for 14 more days and can’t run together. So its a lot of work but beats being in the hospital.

Once home this evening Eli was back to himself and back to eating steak. We will keep him home to recoup and rest from this hospital stay a few more days but for now we are happy he’s home and IYH headed only in the right direction.

Please as always continue having Elimelech Ben Basya and all cholim in all your tefilos.
