The doctors came in to see how Ambrosia was doing this morning and informed us we may be going home tomorrow or in a couple of days. Although the visit home will only be for a few days itself, they are hoping it helps give all of us a break. Her numbers are starting to go back up, however her ANC count has to go up on it's own without the help of the medicine she has been getting for a few days before they can start her next treatment. That is part of the reason we will be able to go home.
However the doctors were unaware she has been having issues with vomiting. I thought the nurses had been charting it but they must not have been. They are going to give her a scheduled dose of a medicine called Zofran to help with nausea. She has been getting it through her central lines (IVs under her left clavicle) but they were going to try and get a version that can go through her feeding tube as I would be able to administer that at home.
They want to continue her feeds through her feeding tube as well as letting me nurse her. I don't know how all that will work at home but I know they will make sure I understand everything before they let us go.
That's our good news! Just hope it comes true tomorrow or in the next day or so!
