Home Again
Sally was discharged from the hospital this morning. She had the two pints of blood yesterday and today her hemoglobin is 10 g/dl (normal about 13 g/dl). Her weight this morning was 123 lbs so that has responded remarkably to the hydration and increased diet. Part of her feeling so good in the hospital was the high doses of steroids that she was receiving. That was stopped yesterday afternoon and today she is not feeling so well. We need to keep pushing the fluids at least so we don't need to go back to the hospital. The Home Care nurse will be here tomorrow to help us maintain her PICC line and may have other tips for us. We see Dr. Conlon again on Wednesday to check the platelet count. I hope she can get some rest here since she didn't sleep much in the hospital.
