Homeward bound Andy hopes sooner than later

Unfortunately Medi-Cal has weird rules about what meds can be given on an outpatient basis and that is what is holding up Andy's discharge. He hopes that he'll be able to leave today if authorization can be approved for outpatient Neupogen to be given to him from St Jo's in Eureka. He was happy to see Lisa and Michael on Friday, Lisa was able to donate blood for Andy, (it apparently takes a few days to process for directed donation) Michael and Lisa headed up to Arcada after visiting with Andy for a bit. Andy got moved to a better room on the 8th floor but unfortunately they don't have the room service menu that he has had in the past, so it is scheduled meals and no extra's. He has been hungry since, bummer! Blood transfusion again on Saturday, Andy wasn't sure which of the blood number's tripped the need for another transfusion, he tolerated it well. Keep your fingers and toes crossed that he gets to go home for about 10 days instead of only 7 between cycles.
