Home at last.

Mom received her last infusion of platelets this morning.
They did another blood test and her platelet count had come up enough for her to be released.

They left the hospital a little before noon.
When they got home they got a call from Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
They wanted to remind her that she had an appointment on Monday and Tuesday in Seattle. Then they told her that she was scheduled for surgery on Wednesday.

Huh?

Mom told them that we had been told that Tuesday was the day we were finding out what Dr. Conrad wanted to do next. She told the nurse that she had just been dismissed and that she was really hoping to get her strength back before going into surgery. She was told that they would keep the surgery schedule "as is", and let Dr. Conrad decide if Mom was strong enough for surgery on Wednesday.

So, we are not sure, but Mom may have surgery next Wednesday and be back in the hospital for a while. This is a "good news, bad news" situation.
On one hand, she wants the tumor out. On another, it was just a bit shocking to learn about it that way and not from the Dr. as well as so soon after getting out. But, we will just view this as God's plan and that he will work out all the details as they should be.

We are grateful Mom is home and will be seeing an Oncologist in Centralia in the afternoon tomorrow. She needs to see them and establish care with them for the future radiation treatment she will get in Lacey.

She is tired, but happy to be home.
She is thankful to you all for your faithful prayer and support.

I will update you tomorrow, but tonight I am just glad she gets to sleep in her own bed.

Thank you all,
Kimberly
