Because of work days and shift changes etc. it can be difficult to know who that is. Doctors are hardly available but usually good if you can catch them and get their attention; but anyone below the "charge" or head floor nurse may not know much except their particular orders. They might still provide some useful information and observations; but maybe not warrantied information. Good luck at home.

After an extended run of no fever, Kathy developed a temperature again last night (Tues). Tylenol got things back down where they belong, but until the doctors can figure out and beat the fever thing, she can’t come home.<br /><br />Since they’ve eliminated most possible sources of infection, today Kathy’s PICC line was removed for testing. The PICC line is a device which allows them to plug in multiple drip bags of stuff (chemo, saline, antibiotics, blood, platelets, etc) without puncturing her skin every time, because the receiving end of the PICC line is attached to a slim tube that runs directly to the heart (to pump stuff around). A handy device, but sticking them in and pulling them out isn’t risk free. Come to think of it, pretty much NO part of all this is ever risk free.<br /><br />Additionally, the lingering effects of chemo cause multiple problems and physical challenges, and those get wearying. If and when Kathy comes home, she’ll be using a walker and requiring home health visits from a physical therapist (and maybe others?) to start building back her strength and stamina.<br /><br />We also learned today that the game plan will be for Kathy to come home (hopefully soon), after which she’ll start a schedule in which she’s hospitalized for 3-5 days about every 6 weeks for more chemotherapy and recovery. How long that lasts, I really don’t know - and frankly, we’re not currently ever thinking about much more than the next 24 hours.<br /><br />As always, your prayers, good wishes, and positive thoughts mean a lot to us!<br /><br />PS: Yes, I'm the guy wearing the mask in the picture, but I'm not <i>exactly</i> the terrifying thing on the seventh floor. I hope to share that story one of these days.</b>Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-83900508476986954742021-10-13T20:39:21.278-05:002021-10-13T20:39:21.278-05:00Hospitals aren’t much fun, are they?
