George has now been receiving the TPN for almost a week, and we are starting to get into a routine. He is never ready to be hooked up in the evening, and looks forward to being disconnected every morning.
For the most part I have been handling most of the process everyday, and we are grateful to have a few nurse friends who have offered to help out. Thanks to Diane V. (friend and fellow CHLA RN), who came to prepare the TPN and connect him the other night while I was at work. It is very comforting knowing we have such great support close by.
We continue with the goal of weight gain for George, and more energy.
Hoping that the TPN is fortifying you! We are thinking of you all.
