I had a good night last night, one of the best in a while. They took my blood early this morning for another bili count and it was a 7.0 today!! That is the lowest it's been since my diagnosis, so we were all really happy about that.
I am still in some pain today and I don't have much of an appetite. But medically, things are going well and we were discharged from the hospital. Hadley picked us up at the airport and we came home to a clean house and I was even able to get a little nap.
As of right now, the doctor's plan is to start me on chemo next week. They suspect this drainage is as good as it's going to get and they say I can handle some treatment. I don't have any specifics yet. I have an appointment next week, so I plan to just eat, drain, and rest up for my treatments.
Thank you for the prayers, I'm convinced this is an answer to many specific prayers on my behalf and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
