Jimmy and I had to go get a tire replaced and while waiting on the car, had dinner with Mary Ellen. She told us that she and Grandma were insisting that we get a hotel room in Durham instead of driving to Rocky Mount that night. Jimmy and I were so thankful. We were able to run a few errands--prescriptions, new clothes--and then just go to the room and crash. It was wonderful to not have to drive an hour and a half both ways. Thursday morning, we got breakfast at the hotel then headed over to the clinic. It was a pretty normal clinic day, just a 2 hour infusion of IVIG. I managed to sleep again, but my poor husband did not.
My mom was coming up to see us and stay a few days with us at home. I was so relieved. I'm not really sure why, because I've had IVIG and steroids before and not had her here, but I guess that would be the first time I've stayed in the hospital and she's not been there with me. She met us at Southpoint and we had lunch at Cheesecake Factory. She and I drove home together and stopped at the outlets in Smithfield, where she bought me some very wonderful maternity things. Jimmy went by his mom's and picked up our sweet fur babies, who really didn't miss us very much at all. We all finally reconvened at the house about 6:30. I am so thankful to be at home!
