Rachel was cleared to go home today, but the vendor that supplies the at- home antibiotics and IV pump and supplies does not have anyone available to do trainings on the weekends and refused to help us, saying we needed to wait until Monday.

Rachel’s awesome nurse worked tirelessly all day trying to find a solution for her to go home today. I reached out to Rachel’s in-home nurse from her chemo days and got the name of another vendor that does work weekends and came in and gave me the training. Unfortunately by that time it was too late to set up the in-home nurse for tonight. The at-home IV pump only needs to have the antibiotic changed out once a day, but they can’t put that on here. The antibiotic is given every 4 hours here in the hospital, so we have a short window to get home tomorrow. (It’s also given every 4 hours with the home pump, just automatically does it every 4 hours for 24 hours.)

So long story short, everything is supposedly set up and ready for her to go home tomorrow morning.
