I wish we had a picture of me speedily wheeling mom out of the hospital under cover of lunch break. Okay..it wasn't really that stealthy but everyone was busy/gone and we had permission for her to go so we just up and left. :-)
So mom is now officially done with Cycle 2 and settled in at our house. While on the whole this cycle went MUCH better than last one (evidenced by her being released on Sunday instead of Tuesday!), she is suffering from a couple of side effects this time that she didn't have last time. The worst of these is the losing of/peeling of a whole layer or two of skin over her whole body and in her mouth and throat. Very common on IL-2, but very painful and annoying as well.
Other than that she needs to get her digestive track fully back working, needs to try and recover/make up from the sleep deprivation, and needs to get her liver and kidneys fully back online so that they can finish clearing the rest of the toxins and other crap in her bloodstreams out and she can be fully mentally back to herself again.
As she feels better she'll be more in touch with folks. Right now she still feels pretty lousy but she's happy to be out of the hospital and is feeling optimistic about the drug's effects.

So glad she is OUT! Wonder if the Dove moisturizer that I recommended (and saw that you have, too) would help. Lots of hugs coming your way - Ask Kai to give Granny a hug from Susu.
