Hi,
Looking at our posts, you'd think NOTHING happened on Friday. Au contraire. Dr. Ryan, in consort with Dr. Cross, discharged Leenie to home! (Every development seems tgo be a surprise). I was with Peanut & Brian & Paul had to get their plane, so Godson Philip brought Leenie home after gettng her prescriptions filled and stocking up on Hearty Campbell's soup. He called to say she was comfortable & glad to be home and that I should pick her nausea medicine up on the way home as they didn't have it ready. (He also doubted she would need it. She'd been eating quite well & was ready for her soup. Philip said the medicine she takes in the morning to increase her appetite is testosterone. (He's in pharmaceutical sales but he's also Philip, godchild of Leenie so who knows what it is).
Brother Phil got home around 4:30 & reported the same good news. It was truly amazing. I arrived around 6:30 and she looked wonderful! She's had none of the bad side effects of either drug and apparently we will be receiving instructions by telephone from Dr. Cross' staff re: her next treatment which will be Wednesday - probably at Dr. Cross' Oncology Center.
Leenie went from believeing death was embracing her on Monday to being an OUT PATIENT with a lot of reading and grateful prayers to say on Friday.
Today, Saturday, she was up before me (a fact she annoyingly made a point of noting), had toast w/ butter and strawberry preserves & coffee. Her face is fuller - 6-7 lbs or so fuller and she has real color in her cheeks (& maybe Tuesday we'll do something about getting the real color out of our roots)
It's a relaxing, cozy day. One would be surprized to think anyone here was anything but tip top re: health. (That may change if doc Phil has Emiryl's sausage for dinner. Leenie, Bridie & I will all need Compazine).
Till tomorrow,
Lorane
