Matthew has been home for several days now. He is doing OK. He is off of pain medication, which was tough. He still has a drain in, which is draining about an ounce a day (yuck!). He has also been giving is own heparin shot on daily basis. Apparently this is very uncomfortable, and causes a burning sensation. Before he left the hospital , they removed a couple of staples from his incision. This is an open wound that he has to pack on a daily basis. He has been very tired, and has spent very little time up and around.
He actually returned to MD Anderson today for a CT scan and more tests. These are to check how the drains are doing, and to check other progress. I am guessing we will get some results tomorrow.
I will post as soon as I have some more information.
