Day +16 -- holy cow ANC today is 7056! They are processing orders for discharge on Monday afternoon. Steve, Zoe and Lydia are home scouring and bleaching the house and cars. We are throwing out our one and only houseplant (ficus tree) and trying to figure out how to keep Domino off of, and away from, Faye which will be tough duty as those two are buddies and no doubt Domino is very Faye deprived about now.
Faye still has not eaten and will be on TPN, the IV nutrition bag, at least another week so a home care team will bring one of those lovely 'trees' that they hang IV stuff from to our home, and train us on all things TPN. So far this makes 7 training classes (3 pre-transplant, 4 for discharge).
No parties, movies, restaurants, malls... no pumpkin patches... she can walk in a park but away from people, mask on at all times she's out of the house... car windows must stay rolled up and no open vents... food restrictions...yada, yada, yada - the latest slideshow had 47 slides and accompanying 3-ring binder. The meds and personal care routines continue.... and outpatient visits and radiation will soon begin. Exhausting. But still, still can't wait to be home. ~L
