I was discharged from the hospital two days later with 3 doses of Sol-u-medrol in my veins. The nurse came back to the house the following day to start a new IV and train us on how to administer the meds. Luckily, my sister came to visit and was more than willing to play nurse for the weekend. Mike lucked out and didn't even have to watch.

She was there for the weekend and before she left, my parents flew in to help with the kids, and the housework, and just to help us find our new normal.

They were here for a week and we tackled more stuff that week than I had done in months. We had a birthday party, got haircuts, they chaffered me to multiple appointments, and Mike and I even got to go out for dinner together.
