Mom came home from the hospital on Wednesday, September 22! The doctors were pleasantly surprised to find that Mom’s blood levels were already showing signs of engraftment. Usually they can start to see signs of engraftment sometime between day 11 and day 31. Mom’s numbers started to show signs of improvement on the earliest day possible.
As result, Mom’s hospital was shorter than we had expected. She returned home in less than three weeks.
Since returning home, Laura and Jennie have become Mom’s round-the-clock caregivers. They’ve learned to administer at home IVs and –through trial and error 😉– how to divvy out the many, many, many medications Mom is taking.
These days Mom is visiting the cancer center 3 times each week, having her blood levels checked and her overall progress monitored.
Today is the 26th day since Mom’s bone marrow transplant. Her blood numbers are up and down, but overall the doctors have been consistently satisfied that Mom is just where she should be at this point in the process.
We’re so grateful for everyone’s support checking in and kicking in via the GoFundMe. Together we are making Mom’s recovery as smooth and healthy as possible. It takes a village!
I personally am so grateful for my friends progress- having said that without support, laura,Jennie, rob, Simon – what is life?
So many hugs and kisses💕❤️💜
