IV continues

So the Dr. has decided I should continue on the IV medicine for an additional week. Everyone in the family has had to help with the administration. Noah helped out last night at a rugby match even! I wanted to see Alex' friend Ben play rugby so Noah and I went to the game but my IV was running and if we waited until it was done we would have missed the match. So off we went. Noah very discreetly helped flush the lines when the IV was done. I don't think anyone could tell what we were doing. Regan of course finds it disgusting. When she had to help she almost hyperventilated! A career in medicine is not in her future! Home health changed the dressing on Monday and put new caps on the line. The only problem with the caps, they are larger and heavier than the previous caps. So if I don't tape down the caps they tug on the lines more. I am allergic to tape so this has made my arm very irritated, and according to the kids rather cranky at night. I will admit last night I was rather irritated. But in my defense it was mostly because as usual Noah waited until the last minute to do his homework so he was up very late. James went hunting last night and killed a 22 lb turkey. Yeah!!!! I have waited a number of years for a fresh turkey. We have a fabulous recipe for wild turkey so we finally get to make it! Well my IV just beeped so off to flush the lines. Have a wonderful week everyone!
