Home...barely

We had to beg to get Adrienne out as she's still neutropenic but her pain is under control with the oral meds. Yeah!!! The current thinking is that this pain is due to the Vinblastine, not the Neulasta shot. Hopefully, it'll resolve itself over time. Meanwhile, she's taking high doses of oxycontin and neurontin, which makes her very drowsy, but relatively pain free. Thank you so much to everyone for your prayers and kind thoughts. We aren't out of the woods yet but we're looking forward to a quiet (HOT) weekend at home.

hello- not sure if you remember me, but i used to post on the webmagic site as katerinski...had hodgkin's at age 20. Anyways, I still check in on Adrienne and just wanted to say I hope she's feeling better and that you are all able to get some better rest OUT of the hospital now that you're home. I know how impossible it is to sleep with all the lights and beeps and interuptions. Take care!

I am a little behind these days, sorry! I am very happy to hear that Adrienne is home and recovering from that awful pain. I am wondering how she is doing now, since you updated on Friday? I hope better every day. Love & hugs to you both, Maureen
