Update - I am Home!

This will be brief - for now:

I was released from the hospital this afternoon and am home.

Key findings:

• Prevailing thought is that neutropenia / low absolute neutrophil count was the result of complication from anti-seizure med. I have been taken off the medication and will consult neurologist for next step.
• My numbers have improved significantly since I have been taken off the anti-seizure med.
• I feel well - just emotionally fried right now.
• I am cleared to return to work! 
• I had my monthly injection of Sandostatin in Dr. Zu's office and will schedule appointment to see him this week (he was unable to see me due to the time I was released). Many questions linger about latest CT Scan results (interpretation, findings, etc.) and treatment moving forward.

Dr. Miradi, Infectious Disease Specialist Extraordinaire, suggested following two simple steps to keep from catching colds and flus:

• Gargling with tap water three times a day.
• Getting vaccinations!

That's all for now. Happy to be home. 

Thanks to all for love, encouragement, and support!

One step, one moment at a time, we will endure!

Love,

Andrew and Christine
