Daily Mitch Report – Friday, February 05, 2010
Dr. Sharma says it looks like Mitch can be discharged tomorrow. She wants to clear it with the myriad of other doctors involved, but it looks good. Of course it’s not soon enough for Mitch who can’t bear another minute. I’m doing my best but he’s still got a bit of a long face. The blood counts are holding, with the whites at 4.9, platelets at 16,000. He is off all the antibiotics. Laina will be here in a while to cheer him a bit. But all he says is “I want to go home where I belong.”
But, hey, this is good news, isn’t it? And we’ll give you the blow by blow of the discharge process tomorrow. For once the boy may be hoping we don’t get too much snow. Whaddaya think?
Penny, Mitch and Laina

This is wonderful to hear! So glad that Mitch's counts are coming up and he's feeling somewhat better.
ReplyDeleteThe only advice I can give you regarding the discharge process is that whatever time they say you'll be leaving, add about 4 hours. It's a lot of paperwork and administrative junk to get someone out the door.

Discharge? Hasn't Mitch dealt with enough discharge lately?
ReplyDeleteWhen he gets home, be sure to wake him up 8 or 9 times a night so he doesn't get a shock from too-rapid adjustment to new circumstances.
Let's hope all the news is good from here on out.
Love
