And we are OUT OF THERE!!! The transition to home was smooth and easy thanks to the hospital staff who are so on their toes. Chris is resting comfortably on our family room couch and we are getting settled back in.
The attending Dr wrote all of Chris' perscriptions and while she was getting ready to leave I was able to go and have them filled, so no having to have her wait in the car while I was at the pharmacy. She needs to continue take one of the pills (vasospasm fighter) every two hours around the clock for the next six days, so now instead of the nurse waking her I get to be the bad guy. Looks like not much sleep for a while.
And we have a list of things to do over the next several weeks; see our normal doc in one week to check in with him (the hospital doc had already called him though), see the neurosurgeon in two weeks, see the cardiologist in 3 weeks (following up on the afib she had previously), arrange for some physical therapy sessions. She's been told she needs 6-8 weeks of recovery time, then an evaluation of if she should take more, so the girls and I will have to be the enforcers of that.
So far today is a good day.
