A few days before we were expecting it, doctors informed Carol that she was being released from the BMT floor by tomorrow, July 20th.3 weeks after her admission for her Transplant. Not yet to go home, but to continue treatment on a daily basis while at a nearby temporary housing.
Carol was very fortunate to have received her Stem Cells from such a perfect matched donor. We are not allowed to know who the donor was for at least a year, if not two, but we can’t wait to express our gratitude for such a life saving gesture.
Doctors also added that because Carol has been steadily maintaining her body and mind in excellent shape (walks, yoga, stretches, and all kind of arts and crafts projects) while enduring the repeated chemotherapy sessions, they didn’t see the need for Carol to continue staying at the hospital’s BMT floor any longer and that she could be seen daily at the Hospital’s clinic.
Carol’s gets all the credit for her efforts and determination to defeat this latest threat at all cost.
So from now on, there is no need for Carol to be hooked up to any of the IV medications, nor being woken up several times in the middle of the night or early mornings by doctors and nurses checking on her or taking her vitals and blood samples.
All of her meds will now be in pill form with daily visits to the BMT clinic for blood work and additional tests to ensure that she continues her progress while at the temporary housing nearby. I will post the new address in the next blog.
Thank you.
