Things are moving along quickly now in preparation for discharge, planned for Tuesday. Feeding tube came out today (she's
very happy about this). Various drugs are stopping or being weened off. Last 3 days, Lauren's been allowed out in the grounds of the hospital
- just a week after the procedure!! Unheard of in a bone marrow transplant!! This procedure, whilst classified as high risk because it's still to be proven, is so much less invasive than 'traditional and currently accepted' treatments. Albeit, in Lauren's case, we'd exhausted traditional treatments anyway.
We checked out an isolation unit Ronald McDonald house has for the next few weeks as an outpatient. It has 17 stairs in it, so that will force her to start using her stitched leg again. Hopefully won't be too long before she can walk again unaided. Got crutches today for when we do leave next week. RCH will continue to run regular checks, so we'll be here for a few weeks yet.
