Visiting at Stanford
Hi everyone!
Tomorrow, July 25th, I will be admitted to Stanford for the beginning part of my transplant. July 26th-July 30th I will be getting radiation and an immunosuppressant called ATG. The plan is for me to be discharged on July 31st and continue my treatment as outpatient with the transplant scheduled for August 6th. This can all change however if there's any complications; after my first transplant I was supposed to be discharged on the 7th day and I ended up staying inpatient until the 30th day.
I would love to have visitors, however if you could please call me before coming over I would really appreciate it. Please note, that there's no flowers, plants, and/or balloons allowed in the unit and all visitors are required to wear a gown, mask, and do thorough hand washing before coming into the patient rooms. Also, if you have any cold/flu symptoms and/or have received a live vaccine within 72 hours (flu shot, TB shot, etc.) please refrain from visiting. If this will be your first visit to the BMT unit, it's best to check with one of the nurses at the nurse's station as to what to do before coming in.
Below are directions to Stanford and the E1 unit where I'll be staying. As soon as I find out my room # and phone #, I'll add them to this post.
I'm looking forward to seeing some of you this week!
