According to Plan...

Good morning all,

Just wanted to offer a quick update that Lee did indeed get to come home from the hospital last night.  Her blood cultures from the implanted port had cleared up so the infectious disease doc was comfortable allowing her to resume usage of the port and continue her IV antibiotics at home.  We are so thankful for the answered prayers to save her port and avoid additional surgeries for its removal and replacement.

After we got home last night, the first shipment of her new medicine, nutrition, and hydration supplies landed on our front porch and we got underway with the new regimen without any delay.  The next 10 days will be a bit challenging as we navigate the narrow timelines between each of the therapies, but we are again thankful to be able to manage this at home rather than the hospital.  

Your continued prayers for Lee as she navigates the new regimen while also resuming her focus on getting ready for the big move at the end of the month would be greatly appreciated.  We’ll let you know of any other significant changes and thanks for following along!

Steve

    I’m so glad for both of you that Lee is home. Tom and I are living at The Pete Gross House while he receives treatment at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. He just came back after three weeks at UW Hospital. It’s wonderful to have him near even if he’s napping. We still include Lee in our pre-dinner prayers every night.
