This household has had a busy week!! Shantel was able to come home from Duke!! WOOHOO!! She has been doing well so far. She has a Home Health Nurse that is with her during the day while we work. She came home on IV's and that's a 24 hour process. I take the night routine and Deb does the morning. Shantel has 3 IV's every 6 hours and pills every 2 hours. She does breathing treatments 3 times a day with extra treatments as needed. One of our "traditions" is when she comes home we take her to eat crab legs. That girl can down 2 lbs. by herself!! So we have done that and we've gone to Walmart once to get a new Nintendo DS game. She had a transplant clinic visit Friday which went very well. Other that that we try to keep her inside as much as possible. Molly (the crazed Labradoodle) is so happy to see Shantel. She just comes over to Shantel and lays on her back so Shantel will rub her belly. Shantel just loves that dog!
We are so happy to have her home!!!
Mom had her 3rd round of chemo this week. She does well but gets sick on the 2nd day after treatment. Otherwise she feels pretty good and looks great! She tires very fast but that's to be expected. Dad and Mom left today to go back to NY for a few weeks. Mom will continue chemo up there but return to Duke for all her Dr's visits and checkups. They will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on June 27th. All the kids and grandkids will be there. Will be great fun!!
Please continue to pray for them both. For Mom that the treatments will work and for Shantel that the lung transplant will come soon!
