It looks like Shawna will be discharged home tomorrow. She is off intravenous fluids and has had some changes in medication in preparation for discharge. She went home on a pass Sunday afternoon, which went well. She is having one more change in medication today and if all goes well, she'll be home in her own bed tomorrow night.
We met with the palliative physician this morning, who answered all of her questions and will make the appropriate arrangements for discharge. She will be supported at home by palliative home care team. She has arranged for needed equipment, medications and all other necessities. She is still very much in charge of her own care.
After she has transitioned home and is settled, I will post her progress and let everyone know when she can have visitors. Pray for a comfortable trip home tomorrow. I will update as news become available.
Thanks,
Terri

Shawna,
ReplyDeleteYou are a beautiful person and truly inspirational. I hardly even know you but I am always amazed at your ability to always have a smile on your face. Christ shines through you and I hope you realize that all of your suffering is not for nothing and that it truly radiates God and the joy that he offers even through the most difficult circumstances in life. Thank you for your strength and attitude, you make me in awe of how God can use someone to touch so many peoples's lives. Alexis is so lucky to have such an incredible mother and through your example she is going to be such a wonderful girl. I hope that you feel comfort and peace and you have touched my life. Love and prayers.
