Doctor's Appointment Moved to Monday!

Carla got a good report from the infectious disease physician and we have worked with a research nurse to enable Carla to be seen by a Dr. Waheed on Monday instead of waiting for Dr. Barlogie on Thursday.  Dr. Waheed is one of the newer doctors in the Myeloma Institue.  The research nurse got Dr. Barlogie to approve this move.  Carla is scheduled to see Dr. Waheed at 11:00 Monday.

We have been monitoring Carla's blood results.  The CRP level can be an indicator of possible infection.  Yesterday's CRP level was down to 13 with the normal range being 0 - 10.  Yes, it was slightly elevated but I think it will be back to normal by Monday.
We have to clean our apartment and move out by 2:00 p.m. tomorrow as the patient we have been sub-leasing from will be moving in at 2:30.  Home Away From Home did have a patient move out of another apartment.  This patient has kept the apartment rented during their brief trip home.  We plan to move into that apartment tomorrow afternoon and sub-lease it by the night.  We hope we can head home Monday afternoon.  If for some reason we still have to stay longer, we can still have a comfortable place to stay.
