The 8 days at CIMA went by pretty fast. My dad left on Tuesday to go back to work and mom stayed with me. We’ve been reading books and watching cartoons. MJ came back to work on Tuesday and we started a small amount of therapy.
There is always side effects with antibiotics. And of course the side effect of this drug is seizures. Even with a 104 fever I had no seizures but after day 5 of taking Menroprem I began to have small seizures. It is really bothering me. I am not used to having them now. I am doing different types too like eye blinking, and smacking my lips as well as some jerky movements. I sure hope this side effect goes away soon. I have been doing so good.
Our plan was to leave the hospital by noon. I did not sleep at all the night before. I cried, and was agitated. Mom was up walking the hospital hall with me in the stroller. We were both up till 6am. MJ showed up at 6:30am and started getting everything ready and fed me breakfast. Mom was able to sleep an hour, and me too. We have a long drive back home and I know mom needed to some rest before our road trip together. Dra. Castro is coming by to take out my PICC line! Yeah.
We managed to leave on time and get home by 4:30pm. Dad had dinner made and was very happy to see us. Our flight to Texas was suppose to be on Monday but we pushed it back to Wednesday… I needed to rest and go home to my bed before making any big trips. I am doing pretty good here at home. Seizures are still messing with me but I am hoping that will go away soon!
It is so good to be home.
