Sam had a central line put in last Friday so he could receive TPN, (total parenteral nutrition) by IV, he has gone from being a hearty young man to very thin. He is of course getting vancomycin IV, which he has gotten since he was admitted, plus fluids and electrolytes, O2 by nasal cannula; he is getting more exhausted by the day, almost.
I don’t mean to be dramatic, it’s just shocking to see the change in him from three weeks ago. My daughter is extremely worried, and now, with no advance warning, his surgeon left on vacation for a week.
I can understand how your daughter must feel. She’s very lucky to have you there for her during this incredibly difficult time. I can imagine that your entire family is exhausted and stressed. Hang in there, friend.
Prayers for Sam & your family.
More prayers for Sam and your entire family, Judith Anne.
