We had two out-of-hospital excursions today. At lunchtime, we went to Toys-R-Us so he could use some of the gift cards that he'd received. They have plenty of Club Penguin stuff in stock, so he was pleased. We came back for the afternoon medical rounds, and then went back to the apartment and to dinner. We're now back in the hospital room for the evening.
If nothing bad happens, we'll be discharged tomorrow and spend the weekend in the apartment. He's been off IV for 24 hours, and we need to make sure that his levels stay stable. He's drinking the prescribed amount, so we'll see what happens. If everything according goes to plan, I'll drive back to Miami on Monday afternoon so I can do some office work, and then drive back here late Wednesday night or first thing Thursday morning.
We did learn during the afternoon meeting with the medical team that the lead transplant surgeon and I went to intermediate school together (I'm one year older). Good old I.S. 72 - Rocco Laurie Intermediate School in Staten Island (pictured above). Mascot is the Bulldogs. Official colors are pink and blue. Official automobile is the 1982 Chevy Monte Carlo.
