First Few Days and First Clinc visit

So we are at home now and I must say we do like this better than the hospital and Jane is doing much better at home.  Although I personally miss all the work done by nurses there...cause I have to it all now :).

At home she has more of an appetite and has been busy walking around the house and doing things all sorts of little things.  There are time were she is up on her feet with the walker a good hour or more.

Frist night and day was difficult, give all meds and shots logging vitals all seem a little overwhelming. As well as keeping track of all the medications. It has been hard taking all the medicines on time and tracking.  Attached is picture of Jane's weekly pill box. But after watching a few YouTube videos on taking blood sugar, giving insulin and other medicines and the first night or so of muddling through it, things are falling into place and becoming easier.  Jane's breathing has gotten
better too I can tell from all the things she is able to do without it tiring her out so quickly.

We had our first clinic visit today. Jane's x-rays is much improved she has more lung volume now which is making it easier for her to breathe.  She is able to go without supplemental oxygen and is on room air most of the time.  She needs oxygen now if she is exerting herself.  Both of and our doctors are very please with the progress Jane is making!

Next Wed is our next clinic visit.
