Meningitis Free and Time to Go Home

Adri had her blood work done and she does not have any evidence of meningitis which is great news! She will still be taking the steroids to help with any swelling or inflammation.

As many of you know my dad is a numbers guy, so we tasked him to count the staples and she has 28 staples! Ouch!

Adri will be headed home Monday, hopefully she will get discharged at around 11AM. She is making great improvements but just felt more comfortable taking one more night at the hospital.

The drive home is going to be a challenge with her vertigo. She feels like things are swaying and moving so the hour long drive with all that motion is going to be tough. Not too mention the bumpy roads! They are the worst in SF.

Once we get her home we will figure out how she wants visiting hours to work. She is anxious to see people and still trying to focus on her recovery.

Thanks for all the continued support- everyone has been truly amazing!

  8. Can the doctors give Adri something to put her to sleep for the ride home? Being asleep is great for preventing motion sickness.

    Adri, it's truly amazing how quickly you are recovering...the road has been difficult but I think it's down hill from here on. And there is no place like home to go to, especially after a hospital stay.

    Take care and see you soon.

  12. The Snows send their best congratulations on going home - only one correction - Orinda has THE worst roads in the country. But will pray for a good trip, nausea is terrible. Love you all of you.
