Nelson got his wish today when he was discharged from the hospital. There was a difference of opinion between the doctor and the nurse, but the doctor won out and he went home…with four-liter oxygen, a blood pressure cuff, and oral antibiotics to conquer his latest infection.
Little Will was glad to see his papa, and vice versa. It’s always best if families can be together. Hopefully Nelson can rest better now, to regain strength and get rid of the last traces of his Covid.
He and Ann Sophie are scheduled to meet with the oncologist tomorrow to discuss what will happen next. Is he strong enough to get another blast of chemo? Or will they switch over to the immunotherapy, now that they found the mutation they were searching for? Or will they postpone both until the infection has cleared? Or will they chart a new course that we know nothing about yet?
As always, we have more questions than answers. In this moment, though, we’re praying all will go well on Nelson’s first night back and that he will stay out of the ER and hospital for a long, long time.
“May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might.” (Colossians 1:11)
Praise to God that Nelson is “home” with family.
Thank you for this update Margaret! I’m so glad Nelson is with his family. You’re so right about the uplifting value of being together with family at home. Nelson will rest better too. I was especially happy to read that immunotherapy is possible now that a mutation has been identified. I was still praying that would happen. I must have missed a post of yours along the way. This is most encouraging! My prayers will now be focused on Nelson recovery from this set back, so the therapy can begin soon. Much love to you all. D
Bless your hearts!!! Praying for all of you!!!!
Happy that Nelson is home. Praying for you.
Prayers will continue for Nelson. Thank you for the updates. Glad to hear he is going home. Hugs and prayers to all,
God bless,

My heart has been breaking reading the recent posts, Margaret. I’m grateful Nelson got to go home to his family to heal and get stronger for whatever is next, thankfully God knows all that we don’t. I’m so encouraged by Nelson’s deep faith and positive attitude. Lifting your whole family up before our loving Father as you go through this alongside Nelson and Ann Sophie and precious little Will. May God continue to uphold each of you and may His loving kindness and mercy be poured out in and abundant and overflowing way over the next days and weeks. Love to you, Cheryl
