Another tough Part B, but 6th cycle is over

Well the 6th cycle is over but not without its ups and downs.
Steve coped well during the week in hospital even though it was really draining.
He came home Mother's Day morning - a little later than expected, but feeling not too bad.
He was ecstatic he wasn't sick on the first 2 days as was normally the case, however he felt more fatigued than usual.
On the Wednesday he looked very pale and by that night it was evident another infection had set in - so it was straight back to hospital.
It was so important to get him onto antibiotics asap - and that they did - the doctors and nurses have been wonderful...
So I was trying to hold off writing this post until he had recovered from the infection but it looks like it will be a little while yet.
The last time he had the Part B treatment, the infection took until about the Wednesday to settle so hopefully by the middle to end of this week he may come home.
He is hoping to be out for the arrival of our grandson who is due on Wednesday - so we'll see...
I'll let you know when he is out of hospital and back on his way to good health,
warmest regards Tricia

Cant wait to see Steve back in his element at blow - he is dearly missed. However your Son and Staff are all making you both proud I'm sure as they are doing an excellent job holding the fort!

  2. Hey Steve, another round over and now the slow climb back to recovery. Hang in there. Sending lots of love and strength. Life goes on as is evident in the form of a grandson, hope everything went well with that as I havent heard. Thinking of you often and praying I will see you back at work in due course.
