Alison is on her way home, finally! 10 days at Alta Bates, and she is oh-so-ready to be back in her nest. Kirk says she is going home with a couple of anti-infection meds despite the report that really NOTHING has shown up as the cause of the fevers and lung involvement. It may be this is reaction to the Temodar she was on. In any case, it is a prudent plan to keep her on the medicines since there are still a couple of slow-growing bugs where cultures haven't been reported yet (aspergillosis, legionella). Chances are good that this was a fever and lung reaction where a source will never be found.
Home to sleep in her own bed, see her cat, watch the birds, eat non-hospital food, snuggle Kirk - a GOOD DAY. Yay, Alison!
And Childrens Oakland buddies, we are still feeling all that love for you, now and forever (see previous post)...

Hey Alison…what a tumult, what a rollercoaster ride. I try to think what would console me were I wearing your shoes…and there is nothing. Nothing anyone said would really mitigate the ordeal for me. Yet we are both still here.
ReplyDeleteI remember a time I slept on your lawn, awaiting your late night return, to assure myself that we were still OK. You still mean that much to me. I wont be sleeping on your lawn anytime soon, but that you are OK remains a concern.
With much love,
Michael
YAY! Welcome home LAM! It's wonderful to hear that you are back in that cozy mountain cottage. Also, great to see "Good Day" attached to your current status...you most certainly deserve one, two, three, four........... :)
ReplyDeleteMuch love. LAD
Hey Al, hang in there! We never did figure out what bumped Gail back in the hospital with a fever either, so keep moving forward!! Love you!
