I'm out of here
All right folks. The fever is gone, I'm off the antibiotics, and my doctor says I can go home. I'm ditching this place in the morning. Or maybe the afternoon. Whenever the paper work is finished. I think it's the only time I liked the 8 Am doctor visit.
Of course now we need to pack up the hospital room. I've collected a lot of stuff over the last three and a half weeks. I already sent mom and dad home with some of the stuff. But there is still a ton here. I think I'm going to have to take a nap while they pack up the van tomorrow. Not that its unusually for me to nap during the day. And apparently, fresh air is going to tire me out in a big way.
In fact, Dr Ahmed has sort of restricted my activities fort he next week. I'm not to go anywhere cause he's is afraid I'm going to exhaust myself. I do however, get to see him on monday. Apparently he isn't afraid that I'm going to tire myself out at the doctor's office. Anyway, I'm heading to bed now. I'll let you all know when I'm home.

Liz - Hope you're enjoy your home life. For some reason napping during the day at home is so much better than napping somewhere else (especially when its a hospital!) Enjoy the coming of Spring!
ELIZABETH

Yay! I'm glad you can finally go home. That must be a great feeling. Be good and follow your doctor's restrictions so you can continue to get better.
Love & Hugs
Wooohooo!! Home sweet home! If I understand correctly: if you breathe the air it could harm you, and if you don't breathe the air it could harm you. Oh fun. ;-P Can't wait till you have more energy. Being home where you can complain more freely should be a big help to you, though maybe not so much for your family. Hehehe. My smiles and happy thoughts!

YEA! Your home and with permision to lay around and sleep. What could be better.
And leave your mother alone. I have been her with my Dad and Sister. And you should be glad She is with you not me. Remember the mother that raised me, I learned all her tricks plus some.
Love Lisa
Hi Liz,
Sorry I missed all the excitement!
It's been a week since you've been home - congrats! The 609 class this semester is designing an origami and math videoconference with the Cleveland Museum of Art - drop by any Wed from 4/18 - 5/9 and we'll be @YT!
I miss you and want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers,
Karli

Ok the 20 comment minimum requirement was met - feel free to update now :)
Marta
Yes I agree. .. please. .. someone. . . let us know how Elizabeth is doing. Love, Phyllis
Okay, I can't stand it anymore....so I will leave a comment. Elizabeth is doing well. After being on "house arrest" by doctors orders for awhile, she went back to church (to a clapping ovation, I might add) and even sang with choir on Palm Sunday. But she gets tired very easily and only went to the 2nd service. Stairs really throw her for a loop and three hours of activity, puts her to sleep (and I do mean sleep) for many hours. She is glad to have greens and fruit back on the menu, but some meats don't taste right. She has a follow up PET scan scheduled for two weeks from now and next week, we will meet with an oncology radioligist. Her name is Dr. Kaul and she is in Mahopac...does anyone have any information about her and know about types of radiation, etc? I am busy researching that part of Elizabeth's treatment. She hates when I give out "so much" information, but I know that you are all concerned...especially Phyllis and Julie. So the Bauerlein's wish everyone a Blessed Easter...CHRIST IS RISEN..HE IS RISEN, INDEED.
THANK YOU , MOMMY!!!!!
THe bloggers thank you, Mil (and I noticed the hour you posted that.)
Hi Elizabeth
Im gonna put in a request that communion come UPSTAIRS Easter Sunday for you and Yvonne...see if I have any pull in the front (make that the back) office. Take those naps, take all the time you need! It was so great having you back last Sunday! Mrs H. (Hope you feel like blogging soon...we miss you here, too!)
So glad you're home and hope Fred's been left behind at the hospital once and for all. Wanted to let you know about a website created by a friend of mine who has also dealt with cancer: http://www.tumoriffic.org/
Think you might enjoy it-- you both have, er, a distinctive sense of humor!
Glad to hear the good news. I hope the wonderful progress continues.
Love & Hugs

Mil. . Christ is risen indeed!!Hallelujah!!!
Love, Phyllis
