Roger continues his upward climb up the “getting better and better each day” ladder. It’s a wonderful thing to witness. Monday started off with him shaving himself, washing his own hair over the kitchen sink and dressing himself for our bi-weekly trip to give blood. He was so pleased that he actually was wearing a [...]

Wednesday, November 24 2010 was a huge day here. Roger arrived home! We are all so excited. He called me from the hospital about 9:30AM in tears and said that he was “FREE”. The best words I’ve heard out of him in months. I arrived about 10:30 to a very anxious almost to be ex-patient. [...]

What a year it’s been huh? Roger and I spoke yesterday and talked about last year at this time and how we weren’t sure he’d see another birthday. Even though it’s been a tough year he’s very thankful that he’s able to blow out those candles on his cake again!! He realizes that there were [...]

Roger’s numbers continue to improve and the enzyme number has finally dropped below 400. This is very good news and if it continues its downward spiral, Roger may not have to go to outpatient services for a daily infusion of his antibiotic. We are really hoping for that!! Although this is good news, it appears that [...]

I spent Friday afternoon talking with Lori, the case manager, regarding logistics, outpatient services, etc. One drawback..because Roger has been taken off the very powerful antibiotic that he’s been on for [...]

Roger’s week started out a little rough with the news that the antibiotics that he’s taking is not approved by the insurance company for home use. He called me in tears and was so disappointed as he was really looking forward to getting out of the hospital and home. I told him that he needed [...]

The weekend proved to be a good one for Roger. He continues his up hill trek and is moving closer to the exit sign of the hospital. On Saturday, I stopped by to drop off his 3rd bag of Cheetos (he’s going to turn into one) and the Snicker bars he’d requested as well. In addition, [...]

Roger’s one step closer to home. The procedure to replace the drain tube and bag from the liver was completed with success yesterday morning. This is a smaller and more manageable drain that will be better for him at home. I talked with him yesterday afternoon and he sounded really good. He said he was [...]
