Aaand I’m still in the hospital.
We finally got the results we were waiting for
back this morning, and my immunoglobulin G was indeed low. That meant I needed
an infusion of IVIG to bring it back up and help me be more able to fight off
infections, including this pseudomonas infection. Unfortunately the infusion
takes a few hours, so there was no way we could get it done in time for my
visit with home infusion. So I got to spend another day enjoying the amenities
of Hotel HUP.
On the plus side, they’re running out of
reasons to keep me here! The only thing left that could potentially cause a
snag is that I need a dressing change tomorrow. I’ll be having home health
nurses come out regularly to take care of the wound vac, but they aren’t available
until Saturday, and I shouldn’t go that long between dressing changes. So we’re
planning on a dressing change tomorrow morning before I’m discharged. This
shouldn’t be a problem, but as we’ve already seen, you never know how things
will go around here.
Hopefully, HOPEFULLY, tomorrow will be snag
free, and I will finally be able to go HOME!
