Last night about 9:00 the nurse came in a told us that they were going to move us to the 9th floor (general, non-oncology floor). There was a newly diagnosed child who was there and the family was frantic. We could certainly empathize. Since there were no rooms empty, they decided Jordy was the least in need since he had just finished his chemo. Earlier they had asked us if we wanted to go home late or wait until morning. Jordy chose the morning, but when asked to move, we asked if we could just come home. The answer was yes, so we headed home about 10:00. It sort of disrupted our Olympic watching time, but other than that it was great to return home.
We are home until the first of September except for a couple of appointments here and there. If you would like to visit, give us a call first so we make sure we are home and Jordy is feeling ok. Most of the time he is really feeling pretty good, but his blood counts will drop in about a week, so he will have to take precautions to avoid illness.
On Aug. 23 we are moving our travel trailer to Wilsonville. It will be nice to have a “home” closer to Portland. It will be nice to be able to stay close to the hospital if we are discharged late again.
Stay cool,
Annie
