8/28 - Home
Kristine came home on Tuesday evening to the comfort of more familiar surroundings -- although the hospital surrounds have become pretty familiar these days. Discharge did not come without some additional poking and prodding. X-rays taken of Kristine's chest showed a build up of fluid on her lungs. To remove the liquid a long needle was be inserted into her back to draw off the liquid. Kristine said it was excruciatingly painful, but admitted that her normally high pain tolerance has decreased over the past week -- there's only so much one person can take.
Kristine has certainly hit a wall. She is tired, uncomfortable and above all in a lot of pain. Hopefully, being home will help put her mind at ease and aid in her recovery.

ReplyDeleteStine - the saying "Home is where the Heart is" has never been more true! Glad to know you are safe and sound and under the watchful eyes of Rufus! Bought a pair of skinny jeans yesterday in your honor (in addition to the new ski jacket)! Please get better soon so you can stop me from making anymore fashion faux pas! Love you so much!

Can't wait to come see you guys soon. Just returned from the beach yesterday. We will call to set up a time to come by. You rock lady love! Each day will be better, just keep on keeping on. There is nothing more wonderful than your own sheets, some peace and quiet when you need it and your own four walls with all of your comforts for now. But look out Philly, because you'll be up and running soon!!!!!

Much love,
Kira
