Edie has officially been released from the hospital.
Her platelets are still a little low, but her white counts are back to normal, which I’m hoping means she won’t have to go on a restricted diet. She will have to be careful she doesn’t cut herself though, due to her low platelets.
All that’s left now, before I can go pick her up, is to remove the Hickman Line, which I’ve just been informed has become a little complicated. It seems the doctor won’t remove the line, until she receives a pint of blood (another complication of the low platelets).
Oh well, at least there appears to be an end to this tunnel, and things should be back to normal soon.
3 PM Update: As of 3 PM today, Edie is at home, and looking and acting as if she never left. She has to take some precautions (like stay away from me, since I am still recovering from my cold), but other than that everything is good.
