Good morning, @leilab1! I’m hoping you have some positive news about Alex. How’s he doing? Was he released from the hospital setting and at the recovery lodging with your husband now>?

@loribmt ,
Good morning! I appreciate your asking about Alex's journey. Today is Day +39 and I'm extremely thankful to report that Alex has begun eating solid food again and although he is still having a suppressed appetite, he seems to be heading in the right direction. His Platelets and WBCs continue to creep upward. The infections and fevers are behind him now. This is all wonderful news and a huge relief!
Doctor says there is a 75% chance that Alex will be discharged today or tomorrow. However, we
are having issues with recovery housing. The facility where he was supposed to stay has no availability right now and so we are once again on the waiting list. When we began this whole process, we were assured by the social worker that recovery housing would be taken care of by them. That particular social worker is presently on vacation and nobody else seems to know how to proceed. This leaves me frantically searching for recovery accommodations online. I'm hoping to hear from a new social worker today. Wish us luck!
