Friday AM

We are just hanging out. Monty coughed quite a lot during the night and is napping now. None of the doctors have been by this morning. The surgeon said that he would come by this afternoon and see where Monty's numbers are. If they look good, we might get to go home. We got Monty signed up for home health yesterday. They will be coming out 2-3 times a week to draw labs and flush his Picc line. He will be on a powerful combination of IV antibiotics at home for 4 weeks for the strep infection in the heart valve. The respiratory therapist was in a little bit ago and recommended that Monty have oxygen at home. He is going to have 8 prescriptions as well. He will have 3 heart meds, 2 stomach meds, magnesium, potassium, and lasix. Some of these he will take from now on. Others he will only need for about a month or so. Anyway, we are anxious to go home. The girls are ready for life to get back to normal, and so are we!
