Monday, Mark was still full of water weight, so we opted to stay one more day to get IV diuretics. As a result, he lost another 10 pounds. He has more to go, but that will happen with time and as he's up moving around.
Labs this morning were terrific! Bilirubin came down more, and everything else is trending in the right direction. Even platelets were up, so we were given the green light to go home. Yea!! Because his white blood cells have increased to normal levels, we don't have to go back every day for shots. Wow, that's so much better than we had anticipated.
Mark was in the hospital from October 14th to November 9th -- 26 days! Tears welled up in his eyes when he walked into the family room and saw the beautiful fall colors in the backyard.
He is still frail and often nauseous but so happy to be home! We're looking forward to a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed, without any interruptions!
Praise the Lord
