Allen has progressed and is currently out of the hospital... but we are not able to fly home yet. Allen still has a chest tube that he is draining fluid into and it can't be taken out until the flow slows down, so we are staying at Grandma and Grandpa's for a few days. It is hard to wait for it to slow down and we can't really do much to help it.
Allen has had a rough couple of days with the pain meds catching up to him making it difficult for him to poop. So he feels a little stopped up. We have switched to Tylenol and Advil which shouldn't effect him in that way, but they are not as strong. The pain in his belly from the indigestion is worse than the surgical pain right now.
The rows of stiches that Allen has are pretty impressive. Probably 14-16 inches long on the belly and about the same along the ribs on the right hand side. He normally hides the scars well with chest and belly hair - but the chemo has thinned that out and it is slow growing back (but this is getting better as well)
SO, we are in a holding pattern right now.
