Jill Update

The purpose of this weblog was to keep Jill's family and friends current on her treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Jill passed away on January 20, 2013 after a 10 year battle against the disease and the side effects of her many treatments. This blog will now serve as a memorial to Jill. Please feel free to add your comments and thoughts.

Out of the hospital

Jill was happy to be released from the hospital on Saturday. Since January 23, Jill has been in the hospital for all but about 4 weeks. At home she will be able to exercise a little more, be with her dog and cat, and possibly get some uninterupted sleep at night. She is now getting IV fluids using a mobile pump that she can carry in a back pack. She is getting all of her nutrition and most of her meds orally now.

The extra activity involved in checking out of the hospital and going back to the apartment left Jill pretty tired and achy yesterday. With a little rest and some home cooked meals she should be feeling much better this coming week.

Scott flew out to Seattle Friday and back to Boise on Sunday.
