Well, her 1st round of chemo is finally over. She is soooooooooooo excited about coming home. I got here at 7:30 just in case.
Yesterday our house got an extreme makeover. The Dr's. have warned us about how very serious not being exposed to mold or mildew and dust particles can be. Anthony and Alecia, Natalie, Stefanie, Connie, Deana and Greg, and a friend of one of my girls completely cleaned the house from top to bottom especially removing all dust. All items that collect dust were removed like cushions and silk plants.
To say the least the house has a clinical look about it.
Her white was up to 900 this morning. That's a good sign it is continuing to rise. A normal count is 8 to 9 thousand.
Last night at hospital she was so anxious to come home. Could hardly stand it, to the point of having an anxiety attack. Just at the time needed most in walked Steve and Cindy Gilliam some of our old and dear friends. That helped her make it through the night. They will never know how much their visit meant to her at that moment. Steve and Charmaine compared bald heads.
It's 8:30 am and now we wait for Dr. to come in and release her. We also have to go through a departure orientation to make sure we know how to do all that has to be done to her picc line. She'll have it in for entire duration. It's like a permanent IV installed in her chest with 2 ports on it. The lines are about 4" long.
NOW WE WAIT.

We're tickled pink that Charmaine gets to be at home for a while. We saw Steve and Cindy at the Varsity after their visit with you. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to call us.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear Charmaine will get to enjoy the comfort of home for a few days! That is great! And very happy to hear her WBC count is going up, making progress! I have faith she will continue to make progress and beat this. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
