They released Kristine from the hospital earlier today! Her neutrophils were up high enough to allow her to complete this phase of her treatment from home. She learned how to give herself the neupogen injections and is hopefully resting comfortably in her own bed right now. :)
Dave has been busy prepping their home for her return. He and my mom cleaned their house and Dave had the carpets cleaned. He also added a bit of color to the house by doing a little painting. I haven't heard what he did yet, but I believe he possibly painted an accent wall in one or two of the rooms. It was a sweet gesture to help make their home feel a little bit cozier since Kristine last been there almost a month ago.
Next week Kristine has an appointment scheduled with Dr. Paquette at the UCLA Ronald Reagan Cancer Center which I will now refer to as the RRMC for short. My sisters and I will soon be tested to see if any of us are a match for Kristine's much needed transplant. Please join me in praying that one of us is a match for her.
We are hoping to complete this next phase of her journey ASAP as we recently learned Kristine's medical insurance will cease in 5 months if she does not go back to work before then. Kristine used her PPO insurance through her union at Albertson's as the primary and Dave's as a secondary. Dave's insurance was declined as a secondary. It's a load of BS and is adding undue stress on them. They are trying to figure out a way to make sure Kristine is insured throughout her treatment. I'm sure they would appreciate any advice in this matter.
Obviously, this is of great concern to us and we would love for you to also pray for a resolution to this matter as well. Thank you and God bless.
Just wanted to say that Im glad to hear that Kristine's treatment went well and they she got to go home with her family. You are very Brave Kristine and you showed it well with the smiles in your photographs. I hope everything works out in favor of you guys regarding the insurance BS. That can be a hassle. Anyhow I will keep you guys in my prayers and hope everything gets back to normal sooner than later.
