Day 20 - Jodie Leaves the Hospital

Good news continues for Jodie.

 

Jodie was released from the hospital on Monday.  She will now spend the next couple of months in a local apartment in Houston.  The apartment complex is minutes away from the hospital and also provides a shuttle service for convenience.

She will have daily visits to the hospital for blood tests, visits with her doctor and continued IV medications.

 

The doctors say it takes 2-4 weeks from transplant to see signs of engraftment.  Praise God that we are starting to see signs of it with Jodie.  Today (Wed), will be 1 week since her last white blood cell transfusion and her counts are beginning to normalize.  What we really want to see are those counts increasing and not falling off.

 

Despite a couple of restless nights this week and some nausea, Jodie is feeling well overall.

 

Blessings everyone!
