Kristine just left the clinic for her first follow-up appointment and the doctor has decided to let her go home! Wow! He said she is doing incredibly well. Her blood counts are at the low range of normal so he feels confident she will continue to thrive at home instead of at the Tiverton House.
The same guidelines for her care will apply. She will need to take the same precautions and have 24 hour, around the clock care. My sisters, my mom and I will all be helping in caring for Kristine. Kim and I will take on the first month as we can only help out while our children are on summer break. My mom will take the month of August and we don't know what we're going to do for September and October. Between all of us, maybe we can rotate weekly at that point until Kristine surpasses the 100 day mark.
The first 100 days are the most crucial. Hopefully after that point, Kristine will be strong enough to get through a normal day taking care of herself and the children. If not, we'll figure it out along the way. We've been doing it this whole time, I'm sure we can make anything work.
I must get back to work now. Just wanted to spread the good news.
