The patient was finally sprung early this afternoon and got going before they could change their minds. The doctor wouldn't let her go last night as her white cell count was down and they didn't have the final results of some blood tests. Today they were able to discontinue the IV antibiotics and her test results were fine, so off she went.
Lynn had a bit more tummy trouble last night but that now seems to be under control - all of this is very normal post chemo and transplant. She received some new meds to help prevent some of that from happening so we'll see how it goes.
The two units of blood have definitely given her some energy and colour. The nurse told us today that this will go up and down for the next while.
Susan and Marg came home with us for a visit this afternoon as Susan heads back to Toronto tomorrow.
Lynn is looking forward to sleeping in her own bed and having some peace and quiet for the night (imagine, the nurses keep checking on her :).
Anyway, there'll be more news to come over the next days. Sending our love back out to all of you.
