Wednesday Early Morning
Greetings to all:
This will be the last blog published from room 6610 at St. Vincent Hospital in Indy by Marty and Jack Hess. Yes, we will be going home today (Wednesday) right at the end of our seventh week here, which means a total of 49 days this stay. It also means that we have spent 105 days on this 6th floor of the hospital since September 28, 2006. It has indeed been a long haul and Marty will be very, very happy to see and feel the outside tomorrow. Praise the Lord! And besides looking forward to getting home, she is also looking forward to being reunited with Buddy. They have only gotten to be together once since Marty came into the hospital. So, I can just imagine what an exciting time that is going to be.
As was indicated in last night publication once home we will have the assistance of hospice. That means that there will be no more treatments of any type for the AML which includes no more transfusions of blood or platelets. Marty had blood last Sunday and her HGB today was 10.8 and she had platelets today because they were down to 13. At this point in time, we do not know what they went up to. The big question now is how long will the blood and the platelets last? The longer they last the more quality time that Marty will have. So, we will pray and ask for prayers that they will last longer than the few days that they have been lasting, and that the bone marrow will begin to produce as it should, so, that the WBC, the HGB, and the PLT will be replaced as needed.
Marty is indeed stepping out in faith and putting her total trust in God that she will have some quality time with family and friends and that her transition to the eternal and with her God will be peaceful and without major incident. May that be our prayer as well.
It is late and the day has been long. So we will close for now and publish again tomorrow from home. Have a positive day and God bless.
Marty and Jack
