HOMEWARD BOUND

 

HOMEWARD BOUND

This morning Kristina woke up feeling different.  Better.  Stronger.  She’s had a couple of good meals.  A few nights of reasonably good sleep.  No fever in the last 48 hours.  Her Neutrophils count was still climbing, now at .07 (or 70, depending on how you express it).  Low but rebounding.

Then Dr Cassidy came in and assessed her.  Kristina asked the question. 

 “When can I go home?”

Dr Cassidy said “well, I can’t think of a reason to keep you.  I think we can send you home this weekend”.

Joy.  I can just hear her now “OmGawd, OmGawd, OMGAWD!!!”

She can’t wait to sit on her own couch.

And yet some logistics remain.  Supplies.   She still has her Hickman in, and it’ll be there for next year, so now there’s some logistical considerations to get supplies (cleaning, etc) for the daily care.  That and some other considerations (like packing, taking down all the decorations, etc) need to happen. 

Unexpected good news and the BMA test, the biggie, still scheduled for next Wednesday, the 24^th.
