Big Surprise - Clinic Graduation!


Jo got a huge surprise today. She has officially graduated from the clinic! When the nurses found out today would be Jo's last day in the clinic they all came to her room and sang a rousing version of, "Na, na, na, na...Na, na, na, na. Hey, hey...goodbye." It was a lot like when the waiters at a Mexican restaurant find out it's your birthday.

Not only is Jo done with the clinic, she is done with her daily fluids at home. Her magnesium levels are holding steady and Dr. Anderlini said he can no longer find any reason to keep her coming to the clinic. The most exciting part of stopping the fluids is that Jo will not be using her CVC at all...meaning it can only be a matter of time before it comes out!

On her way out of the clinic, the nurses presented Jo with the graduation ribbon below. Going forward, she will just go in on Tuesdays to get her blood checked and to see Dr. Anderlini in his office.
