A tale of two Brians

Cambrie got home last night. I thought she was going to blog herself...but I guess she isn't feeling up to it yet. She is supposed to sleep on an inclined mattress, kinda like the hospitals, so her bed was all propped up with pillows etc. That didn't work too well. It gave her a backache, and a lousy nights sleep...so she is trying to nap. She came home with a ton of paraphanelia, many cases of what looks like pre preparded formula, IV pole, LOTS of medical stuff...and once again, her knowing how to use all of this stuff because she is a nurse is the only reason she is out of the hospital. It is all pretty complicated. Steve, who got pretty darn good with all of this medical stuff the last time, helped her to get it all set up again last night. It took from about 6 pm when it arrived, till about 9 pm last night to get everything up and going.
Cambrie is still naustious, but is only barfing about 4 times a day now. Most of the time she can just pull out the bile from the stomach that is making her nautious with a large syringe out of the "J tube" (remember, she has 2 tubes...one into the stomach and the other into the intestine). She is down to 115 lbs...probably the least she has weighed since Jr High. But overall this is definitely an improvement over the last go around. She also has a permanent port into the arm so that she can recieve IV fluids and other medications there. Lots of tubes for Kiera to pull. It makes me very nervous to have Kiera by Cambrie: one yank, and she will be back in the hospital.
Cambrie was sad to see how much Kiera has grown (without her observation) this last month. Kiera needs a new wardrobe coming right up....
