1 Sept - Sarah Home From Hospital

Sarah's oncologist decided she should be fine at home and approved her discharge from the hospital. I brought her home tonight. She's still feels pretty weak - more than before we left the house last Friday - and she'll have to stay on the special antibiotics for 2 weeks in order to try and clear up the C. Diff. infection. Could be she's had it for a while and it is possible that it's been taxing her system the whole time. We're hoping that clearing it up will allow Sarah to gain some strength back! Her blood test results still have quite a few "low" values but they steadied out and with the right nutrition and a cleared up system we also expect those to creep back into their normal ranges over time. For now, Sarah's just happy to leave the hospital and be back home - even though the stairs do look pretty daunting to her.

Very glad Sarah is home and hopeful this is a cause for the exhaustion and ill feelings that you couldn't pin down. hope she is on the upswing. Take care - Sharon
