Saturday: Going Home
Posted by stephanie on December 15th, 2007
I have been awake nearly every hour. I am going home today and I’m excited. They are sending me home on two antibiotics and I am to follow up with Dr Young the first of the week. Chemo is due Friday and the question remains will be do we proceed or hold for Christmas. Thanks to all who have said prayers and sent messages of support.
With this stay they discovered I have Sweet Syndrome. Rare, it can occur in patients that receive Neupogen. I take Neupogen to boost my white cell count on a weekly basis. It is treatable but it can also complicate the treatment plan for chemo. We will continue to fight.
Most importantly I am home and surrounded by an enormous circle of friends and family. We love you all.
Grace & Peace this holiday season.

You are coming home, that is why the sun is starting to shine for the first time in a week.

Hopefully by the time you read this you’ll be home!! I’m glad that you have such a great team of doctors, and even more glad that they won’t see you everyday for a little while. The cats need their mama (yeah, and the kids and hubby do, too, I’m sure!)
Love ya, Steph!
