2 weeks post-surgery

It was a roller-coaster ride in the hospital trying to get Adam's sodium levels up. They would go up for a while and then back down again. Finally on Sunday morning, day 11, his level was up to 132...135 is normal. So..Dr. P told him he could go home. He put him on 2 immodium a day to slow down his out-put. He also told him to drink as much gatorade as was coming out his stoma. It took a couple days to get things regulated, but he is doing much better now. He's had some drainage out the bottom of his largest incision, but they said that's normal. He's also had some skin irritation today. He has a follow-up appointment in 2 weeks. He also is not supposed to drink water....it dilute his sodium. For now it is just gatorade...I'm not sure how long he'll have to do that for.
