Homeward Bound

Anne called me at work yesterday in the late morning with great news. Dr. Wolfe had just met with her and said her white count was climbing ( it was six on the latest blood work) so he thought she could go home by Monday. He even said, maybe this weekend, but it doesn't seem likely since she needs to get off all the antibiotics. This past week has been a mixed bag for Anne with some moments of feeling more herself, then back to those feverish bouts of nausea. But now things seem to be settling down more consistently so we are ready to make a break for it. As Steve noted in his comment Anne is receiving IV nutrition, liquid steak and potatoes directly into the veins. That should be finishing today as she starts eating regular meals. She is still a bit sore from the surgery but that seems to have healed nicely and is no longer a concern.

When I asked Anne last night if she wanted to write something for the blog so I could enter it for her she said her thoughts were too scattered at that moment. She has talked constantly about the outpouring of love she has received and how life changing it has been for her. This entire experience has certainly created a bond between she and I that could probably only come with many years of sharing. We are both so grateful for the incredible support that has been given and sustained over these past few months.

Namaste
