Day +22…Getting out of the hospital!

Hello again,
Just wanted to send a quick update on Leigh’s progress. On the
floor, the nurses and staff refer to her as “the rock star”. This is
due to her commitment and drive to beat this disease once and for all.
She has been doing fantastic in her exercising, physical therapy and
diet. She’s done so well, that she is getting released from the
hospital today! This is about 15 days earlier than originally
expected. She will be moving to an apartment right around the corner
from Moffitt. Once I get the address I will send out an update.
This is a transition phase prior to coming back to home. She will
have to visit Moffitt each day for lab work. Lori will stay with her
at the apartment to help her in her recovery. Her help has been huge.
Without it, this would be even harder.
She is extremely excited to get out of the hospital and have a
little more freedom, not much. She will have a ton of restrictions for
the next 6-12 months and some beyond that. Those that are local can
contact me about visiting her, if you’ve been around anyone sick or
been sick yourself you’ll have to wait at least a week. Keeping her
healthy and infection free is huge, her immune system is so new she
can’t fight off illness. For now were gonna let her to continue to
rest and build up her strength. She still has a very long road ahead.
She wanted me to tell everyone thanks for all of the support and
prayers, it truley helps. She loves all of the cards she has received
and enjoys getting them.
We appreciate all of your positive energy flowing our way.
