Yahoo! It was a long day at the hospital but Lynn was officially discharged from inpatient care today. She's very happy to say the least. The blood tests showed that all of her levels are strong (some are even better than mine :) and because she's doing so well at drinking lots of fluids and eating, they won't need to see her as often. Yeaaahhhh!! This also means that she's on fewer medications which makes her even happier as she was having a tough time with all of the pills. It's now more manageable and shouldn't cause her as much trouble.
Next appointment to see her transplant doctor will be on Monday and depending how things go, should be a weekly appointment with maybe the odd blood test in between as long as she continues to feel well and respond so positively to the transplant.
Joanne O. was a great help in getting Lynn to the hospital in the morning and staying with her until I could get there from work. We have reinforcements coming from Fergus, ON. Pat is coming this Sunday for a week and Kim is coming next Friday for a full week to stay with Lynn and drive her to appointments as needed. After that, we're hoping that Lynn will be strong enough to be on her own, at least for parts of the day.
Everyone can cheer in the progress that Lynn has made. There have been so many people helping her out along the way and in so many different ways. It's taking a village of family, friends and colleagues to get through this and it's working - so thank you!
Good night!
