The plan is now for Anne to be home on Wednesday. She will have "permanent" lines for the dialysis fitted in her chest today (the ones in her neck were removed after dialysis yesterday), and will have her first dialysis from this line on Wednesday. If all goes well, she can come home. We'll have to arrange out-patient dialysis (3 times a week).

Its possible she will need another blood transfusion before coming home though, as her haemoglobin count has fallen (white cells are fine). She was due to have her second lot of chemo this week, but should see her oncologist today to discuss her treatment.

On a lighter note, Anne is much lighter (and being weighed daily to prove it), so we need to fatten her up, and she needs to see a nutritionist before being discharged. A small part of this weight loss can be attributed to her hair, which is now starting to fall out (though not that noticeable at the moment - until you look at the floor).

  1. So glad you can come home on Wednesday Anne. Being "lighter" seems a bonus to me (!!) but the nutritionist will be helpful I'm sure. Love, hugs and prayers in the midst of a really difficult time for you. x x
