What a weekend. Basically, the medical team at the hospital OBVIOUSLY did not want Clayton to leave the hospital. They pretty much avoided him the whole weekend. So, here is the information I have so far. I am hoping to meet with a doctor that can tell me more today sometime. They want to put him on TPN, which is a way of getting nutrition in quickly. They put in a central line and deliver it via IV. Its very expensive (paid for), and they don't do it unless absolutely necessary. They feel that in order to solve the other problems going on with his body, he needs some proper nutrition. Although he eats a lot of good food, his body just has a really hard time absorbing it. I don't know yet how long they plan to keep him on the TPN as it is an in hospital treatment because it needs to be constantly running and monitored. He wants out this Friday. We shall see. I just hope they can get something going soon because he really feels like he is just wasting his time in there. We will let you know when we know anything more. Love, Cynthia
