Update on his IV thingy

Well, Phineas has had a pretty good week. They took the IV out of his leg and put in a more long-term one in his chest. It was a surgical procedure, quick and pretty routine, but it didn't stop us from worrying non-stop through the whole thing. He can actually come home with it so we can give him IV nutrition while his stomach heals. This will be an ongoing process.

On Tuesday, we are meeting with a bunch of doctors to discuss the home transition. That means education for us, but it also means we're getting closer to having him here. It will be nice to have the baby back to match the house full of baby stuff. We are all very lucky.

Jess just went up to the hospital to spend the night (or maybe the next several nights) with him... he's out of intensive care and on the regular pediatric unit. Next stop, home.
