Headline News..... HE'S BAAAAACK

Yes the mighty scary Stefan is baaaack.
Ok maybe not mighty at this time,.. neither scary to us either, but it sounded good.
Yes we are home tonight. We had some fresh rye bread and some pierogi for dinner. Now I have to go get the prescriptions that are needed for this time around. A new antibiotic. some new vitamin that is special for neutropenic diets, some more potasium, magenesium,same Acyclovir (Antibiotic), same Nexium (stomach protector) Sennakot for contstipation, Immodium for Diarhhea. He received a supply of his (yuk) Posaconalzole to take home with.
Besides being Neutropic (low Neutrophils) Stefan will also be on a Low Tyramine Diet. That means for the next 3 weeks no aged foods, like swiss cheese, muenster cheeses,Mozzarella, Cheddar, Romano, Camembert, Provolone, all cheese spreads, no smoked luncheon meats, no bacon, sausage ,liverworst, corned beef, lox, smoked fish, no pickled foods, no dressings made with aged cheeses or blue cheese or made with eggs. No beer, ale, wine, alcoholic drinks, limit caffeine to 2, 8oz. servings daily only. No fava beans (his favorite kind) no avocados, sauerkraut, chinese pea pods,even store bought yeast cake bread products are a No No. Sourdough breads also are out. So Rye bread is ok. Well enough of our delicious menu for now. We are off to catch a nap then we could go get some un-interrupted sleep in our own bed, for first time in three weeks. Good night for now. If I rememeber anything else that I wanted to tell you I will update.
P.S. His counts for today were WBC at 1.4, Hemoglobin at 9.8, Platelets at 16 and his Absolute Neutrophils are at 0.7.

He aslo received a bag of Platelets before he was discharged today, that was like a booster shot before going home.
The nurse will be here tomorrow to draw blood and check up on him at home. Then again on Friday. On Monday next week we already have an appointment at 10:30 to be in the Stem Cell Clinic for check ups.
