Hello, Monday! I've been in the hospital for 6 days and I'm ready to go home. I made it through Sunday night without a major rash but some redness and still itchy. The nurse has already made her debut and did her morning routine so now it's time for me to get up to do mine. While I was in the bathroom the team came in and said they would be back shortly. I thought great maybe they will tell me I can go home today. I highly doubt it because I still have to get my last treatment. However, I have questions and concerns!

They come back in and surround my bed and explain to me that the numbers are improving just slowly but the treatments are working. Then we start talking about the allergic reaction I experienced and the itchy feeling. I had pictures of the rash on my phone (have to capture moments, especially when it goes away) to show them so they can see what happened to my body. They still wanted to move forward with the last dose of treatment and I had a bunch of questions. What if this time the allergic reaction is worse? What will they do to combat that? Do they think it is because I'm taking so many medicines at once my body is responding differently? Will I be able to have more Benadryl? Not only was I asking questions my parentals had a couple of clariifying questions as well. I remember them looking at me and asking me what I wanted to do, reluctantly I said I'll do it. I just want it over with. I don't have a choice. My dad said you always have a choice and we support you. Needless to say, I went through with the last treatment. I really just wanted to go home.

I already knew that I wouldn't be heading home today but the team said that if everything looks good tomorrow morning I can go home. That made Monday so much better so I went through with my treatment and slept knowing I would be able to leave tomorrow!
