After a long day at the hospital she is finally at home. She needed platelets before she left so they were planning on her leaving around 1. But with the IV antibiotics she needs they ran into a snag - apparently the infusion room at the Corvallis hospital doesn't know how to use the central line in her neck and they didn't want anything to do with it. Unbelievable to me that the hospital could use something that another section of the hospital doesn't know how to use! And this isn't the infusion room at Dr. Lee's - its actually AT the hospital. I guess they don't usually let people go home with them in, so the only people who use the lines are the nurses on the floors. But anyway, Dr. Lee was so up in arms over it she threatened to come in to the infusion room and dose it herself every day. The funny thing to me is that they told Mom if she was comfortable with it, she could actually use the line herself and wouldn't have to come in to get the dose every day...so it can't be that hard to use. The infusion room finally agreed to do it and she's scheduled to go at 9:30 tomorrow for the first dose. And they decided she only has to do it until the 7th instead of the 10th.

They got home about 5:45pm tonight and she wanted pork chops and mashed potatoes for dinner...we'll see how that went. :)
