The last couple days I’ve been
noticeably less dependent on supplemental oxygen. I’ve mostly been off it while
at rest, and haven’t needed as much while walking around. Overall I’m breathing
and moving better and have more energy. It seems that the Fancy Restricted Antibiotic
is doing the trick!
Today my doctor gave me the best
Chanukah present ever by finally talking about DISCHARGE! I still need more
treatment, but thankfully I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t need to be in
the hospital for it. The plan is to get me back on home IV antibiotics and
fluids so I can finish up the Fancy Restricted Antibiotic in the comfort of my
own home. I’ll also still need to make sure to do LOTS of extra nebulizers and
chest PT to keep working on clearing out the remaining chest congestion. But it’s
so much easier to do all that at home instead of in a hospital bed!
The question now is how I end up
feeling tomorrow and how long it takes to set up all the home care services. If
all goes well, I should hopefully be going home within the next couple days!
I am SO grateful that I will be
able to have at least part of Chanukah at home and finally get to light my
menorah! Turns out the Fancy Restricted Antibiotic really was my Chanukah
miracle!
