One Week Down....

It has been one week since I brought Quinton home from the hospital. All has gone quite well so far. No fevers, nausea, vomiting, or other symptoms that might point to infection. He's eating well and his pain is minimal to moderate. I don't think he's taken a Vicodin in 2 days. He does continue to be tired and he naps often, however.

Despite the fatigue, I have been able to get Q out of the house at least once a day. On Monday, we went out for lunch and stopped by his office to visit his co-workers. On Tuesday, he accompanied me to the grocery store. Yesterday, we attended an awards assembly at the boys' school (Kyle won an award for "extra academic effort" and his name was drawn for "Pizza With The Principal"). He did well, just as long as he was able to sit down often.

Later today, Quinton has a post-hospital follow-up appointment with his doctor over at Mayo--his first of many appointments in the coming days. Wish us luck!
