Please ignore prior post. Mayo clarified parts of this for me. Hospital still a no-go, as are specific units, but as far as outpatient tests, they'll let you in. Unfortunately, the specific units are those where CAR-T and stem cell transplants are working. I understand it intellectually, but not as easily emotionally.

@ruttgerbay I completely understand your outrage, call for help and anxiety. It's scares the cr&p out of us when we can't be there for our loved one. It makes an already terrifying experience like CAR-T therapy become even more anxiety-ridden. Not what you need as you try to be the calm one and the pillar and the rudder for your wife.

I'm glad that it was quickly explained to you that you can accompany your wife.
Effective Monday, March 23, outpatient clinic patients may have one individual accompany them, with consideration for special exceptions determined by patient care teams.

Here is a link to all the details of the Updated visitor policy: Mayo Clinic limits number of visitors during COVID-19 response https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/updated-visitor-policy-mayo-clinic-limits-number-of-visitors-during-covid-19-response/

Are you in the CAR-T unit now? How are you doing? How is your wife?
