Yes, we will be going home tomorrow!! Holy Moses!
We had visits from 5 doctors (2 before 8) and one social worker as well as some of 'our nurses' but the only that counts is our doctor saying "you need to get out of here!"
Joyce's tummy still isn't working, so she will have to use "Baxter" to get the nutrition, but our doctor thinks a change of scenery will do the trick. Sixteen days in the hospital is driving us crazy too.
They will program the IV so it will all be together and will be connected for 12 hours at night and then disconnected for the day. Joyce will be FREE!
A home health Nurse will get things set for us. After being in the same room as Baxter for 12 hours a day, I think we learned something Beep Beep.
We haven't gotten the schedule for the next chemo treatment, but will be close to the end of August.
We couldn't stop smiling tonight!

Hi Joyce and Uncle Doug,
ReplyDeleteI'm SO HAPPY you get to go home! I don't know how you've kept such a positive attitude while in the hospital for SO long! I've been reading your updates every day and continue to pray for you daily. Now that you're going home, let me know if you need anything. We'll be out of town from 8/15-8/22, but available to help with anything before or after that. God bless!
