Good morning, @anitasharma! This update about your husband is making me smile from ear to ear…and exhaling a sigh of relief! With the engraftment of his stem cells he is turning the corner in his recovery and every day will bring some small, incremental healing. Being released early is a very encouraging sign!
As he starts feeling better it’s still important to note that he will be fatigued for some time yet. Recovery will take months and can’t be rushed. His body will tell him to rest and he needs to listen. ☺️
Aw, I’m so happy for all of you that his parents will be able to come! This will be a joyous reunion and like @katgob mentioned in her reply, Family perks us up! Especially when there’s been a long absence and an ocean apart!
Another little word of caution though is that your husband is still very susceptible to infections so anyone visiting should mask up any time they are with him! I was also instructed “no hugging” allowed for the first several months. I’m a hugger so that was tough. I did cheat a couple of times to have “Death-defying” hugs with my daughter…we both N-95 masked, (this was before covid) and I wore a gown over my clothing which was then removed after our lengthy hug. LOL. But shhhhh, you didn’t hear that from me. Giggle.
Anyway, wow. Thank you for this spectacular update and I wish your husband well on his continued recovery and may you all have a lovely reunion with your in-laws. I know they’ll be relieved to see their son after all this time…and on the road to recovery! A huge air-hug coming your way!
