Home Again

It seems that Jon and Rebecca don't have the gene that drives them to report  even when they think there is no news. This morning, it seemed like no one in the IPOP thought there was anything to say either. After they sent his blood sample to the lab, he waited for a long time for someone to come and tell him he could go home. The nurse told him the Nurse Practitioner would come and make the official call. But after a few hours, she got word that the NP was just too busy and Jon was free to go.  And so, without any fanfare, he walked out of there.

Tomorrow he has a video call with the Infectious Diseases doctor and then on Friday he has a call with Dr. Imus.  He hasn't heard anything from Kaiser about any sort of plan, but maybe that has to wait until Dr. Imus catches up.

On the way home, they stopped at Attman's Deli (thanks to Nell and Don for the gift, what a good idea) and picked up four huge sandwiches. Alissa was here and we all sat down for a 4:00 meal.  We decided this was the equivalent of "cream tea" in the British schedule of tea times.

And now we are all indoors on a quiet Monday, looking ahead to a couple of weeks of heat, and feeling glad that Jon is so much better. His taste buds are useless, as predicted. But he still has his fingernails and his cognitive powers are undimmed. He weighs more than he has weighed in a while. 

I am guessing there won't be anything to report again until the conversation on Friday. So, y'all can breathe easy for a bit. He did it.

    Yeah! SO glad to hear this and especially grateful to be able to keep track of your goings-on from a distance.

Improving

I haven't been to see him myself yet today, but I hear that he is starting to express some angst about all the things he should be doing on the farm. This is good. It has been days since he even thought to pick up his phone, which certainly was an indication of how terrible he was feeling.  The NG tube was put in yesterday and they started feeding him right away, even though they didn't quite have the equipment in place to do it all to code. Rebecca says they manually pumped the formula, which must have been a challenge since the pace of delivery was supposed to be extremely slow and careful. By 10:00 last night, the charge nurse had installed the pump. They still didn't have all the right equipment but they managed to piece everything together and Jon was fed a small dribble of formula all night long. Today they are working on increasing the dosage, as his stomach shows that it can manage this. Things are looking up. Alissa and Rebecca went in this morning and Anna is taki...

Rolling Updates from the Waiting Room

I have to admit that we/I did not pay any attention to the details of what to expect today. We have done this a couple of times before, and I have hung out in this waiting room in years past. We were supposed to arrive at 6:30 to check in to Interventional Radiology so Jon could have a central line installed for cell collection. We did that, arriving right on time. They immediately took him back and gave me a number to watch on the board (no more names, just numbers). So I know that the patient is in pre-op. What I don't know is how long this takes, or how far I can wander. Nor do I know when we are expected at the next location for the hours-long pheresis event. Of course, there are reasons for this lack of attention. One is that we trust that we will be instructed as we go, and we are familiar enough with the hospital and its systems. Two is that the baby was the most important news, and this was much less interesting.  In brief, Rebecca had an appointment at 8 AM on Friday, the ...

Back Into the Hospital

Since the last report, a little over a year ago, Jon has been dealing with a lot of treatment-related symptoms. It has been a tough 15 months or so since he started on the Telqetamab. The main side effect was loss of taste, which led to a general loss of appetite and a struggle to eat. Through it all, Jon has continued to take care of us by cooking our dinners, maintaining so much at the farm, helping us to keep everything going. By about June, that treatment stopped being effective and the oncologists decided that he was strong enough to be a candidate for CAR-T (another long and involved process that can be described later, but it holds promise), even though he lost about 40 pounds in that year. His spirits were good, his energy was good, he had adapted to his loss of taste. The doctors prescribed a bridge treatment, something to keep the myeloma quiet if possible. It was known to have many dire side effects. Back to the decadron, a whomping amount of steroids that means very little ...
