Just adding my two cents here. If you are not near the clinic for lodging they have shuttles that run to almost every hotel almost every hour during the day.
We drove so we had a car and used it, which was handy since my husband often had IV fluids into the evening. We absolutely loved townplace suites. They did a long term rate and we were very comfortable, having a full sized kitchen and being able to sit in another room from where he was resting was pretty great. They do put out a large spread for breakfast. It also was much lower priced than the places that were closer to the clinic, and it still only took 5 minutes to get there. We took the shuttle to learn the most direct route. Disclaimer, this was 10 years ago.
@loribmt You're right, a care partner is important in any phase of a transplant.
@tml It's good you are getting ideas ahead of time, and thinking about your husband and how he will be handling the physical and emotional sides of his part in all this. Being mindful of and taking care of the care partner can be an easy thing to overlook in the busyness of it all!
