Home Again

We’re home! After a little bit of a scare, we are finally here.

Jen’s discharge was put on hold earlier today. Thought we might have to stay at the hospital another day. Jen had a slight fever this morning, with an elevated heart rate (around 120 bpm). Internal medicine ordered blood work and a chest X-ray. Jen’s white blood cell count was elevated, 11 (up from 8 yesterday).

Jen’s fever went down on its own (with the help of 1000 mg of Tylenol). After results from a chest X-ray, blood work and one or two other tests, Infectious Disease signed off on her discharge this afternoon. 

Jen’s nurse helped to arrange a private ride home, in one of the hospitals wheelchair transports.

Welcomed by friends and neighbors, we are home, and settled in.

Jen is sleeping.
