After spending his 29th birthday in the hospital I was really hoping Steven would be out by now... however, he is getting out for a visit which is the first time he's had a day pass in quite a while so we are grateful for what we have.
We are ordering pizza, having cake and celebrating with my mom, James, John and Ethel, and Wayne and Elaine.
We are all really missing home. Steven was told yesterday that he has about 10-14 days more to go if everything goes according to plan. My mom will be heading back this week (thank you for everything mom!!!). Yesterday's CT scan showed that his abscess has shrunk considerably. He switched back to oral antibiotics so he is once again without the IV pole. The trick will be taking him off the oral antibiotics which is where we got to last time when we thought he was going home but the infection came back. They will take him off again (hopefully sometime next week) and keep him in the hospital to make sure the infection doesn't return.
HUGE THANK YOU to Denyse and James who continue to take fantastic care of Tessa (our dog). And a BIG Happy Birthday to Denyse and Jackie :) Wish we were there to celebrate with you - but there will be plenty of time to celebrate when we get back.
Love Tracy

Happy 30th birthday, Steven! Probably not how you would have imagined to celebrate your 30th...beer-free. Sounds like you had some nice moments celebrating you and a much needed break. Bet James got into your cake. Cheryl
