Day +4 - Evening

Lynn was sprung mid-morning and almost ran the doctor over getting out of the place.  Had a great visit and lunch at David and Nancy's (her brother's family), along with Maddie, Molly, Susan and their Mom.  Susan flew home this afternoon - she's doing well after the apheresis - a big thank you to her!
This afternoon, Barb and Gail came to 'adult-sit' as Lynn can't be left alone when we're home.  That gave me a chance to get some groceries and do some running around.  She's also not allowed in public places so it limits where she can go.  They had a good afternoon of some snoozing and a movie, then we had a nice dinner together. 
Lynn's a bit more tired today - needs to drink lots of fluids.  She's also starting to get some of the signs of mucositis which is expected and a part of the post-transplant side effects.  Although it likely won't be easy to deal with, it confirms that the transplant is working as the body is starting to fight the 'foreign' cells.  Once it takes full effect, Lynn will have to stay in the hospital for a number of days so that they can help her manage it.  The doctor was already talking to her about that today.
She's now getting settled for another enjoyable evening in her own bed and at home.  That's it for today.
From both of us, have a good night!
