Day +20 - More progress

Lynn spent most of the day at the hospital today.  The daily round of blood tests, seeing the doctor and then today it was getting organized for an extended leave.  She's now on pass until Thursday at which time she's goes for more blood test (you wonder how she has any left some days) and then a meeting with one of the transplant doctors to see if they will actually discharge her from the hospital and transfer her care to the transplant clinic on an outpatient basis.
If that happens, then there'll be regular trips for blood tests and weekly meetings with the transplant doctor to see how things are progressing.  Lynn still can't be left alone right now so we're just working on getting things set up so she can be safely and comfortably at home and get rides to the hospital when she needs them. 
Otherwise, she's doing pretty good.  Just trying to get some normal sleeping patterns back in place and still working on getting all the pills down that she needs to take- some of them are kind of yucky so it takes some effort on her part.  She's quite happy though, to be home for a couple of days and hopefully longer.  You may even hear from her tomorrow on the blog.
Have a good evening!
Irena
