Latasha had a restful and quiet day today. Now that she is in a private room, she can get a decent night’s sleep and take several well-needed naps throughout the day.
The new doctor and medical team visited, and they removed her nutrition/feeding line from her nose, catheter, and drainage tube down to a bulb (it should come completely out in a few days). This has given her much more mobility to use the restroom and move around better.
The next few days are all about rest and recovery.
On Monday, Tasha and I start our education phase of post-transplant care and life. We will also get out of the arduous schedule of appointments and poking and prodding.
Her first of many bronchoscopies is scheduled on Tuesday to test for rejection and adjust her anti-rejection medications as needed. Monday will also be when the ambulatory team gets her up and moving several times daily, allowing us more freedom to explore and quell the hospital fever.
There is a lot on the schedule for next week, but it is all easy compared to the last three weeks.
The doctors think that she should be released for local post-op care by Friday. I am signing for our apartment this afternoon to get our home-away-from-home base ready for her to come home to—all very exciting things.
