We had one of the Residents who has been assigned to Geli’s case come in and talk to us this morning.
It seems that her blood counts are currently too low to allow for her to go home, but there is the possibility that they could raise enough by the weekend……BUT……she then announced that the Infectious Disease People like to see 2 weeks of negative counts before they will release a patient and in Gel’s case I guess they were testing for 2 different things and on the 27th had one neg and one pos and on the 29th both were negative for any infection…this would push our release date from Sunday to Tuesday.
I’m not gonna lie….I’ve been fighting tears ever since they said that. I don’t want to cry and upset or bother Geli as she’s not really said anything yet, but I just want to go home so badly. I’m so upset. I was concerned about this and now feel a bit like, “what’s gonna change as of Tuesday and keep us in here for another few days”….its so stupid.
I’m struggling today.
Really, Really struggling!
