Hi Fi
Welcome to the forum. We are a friendly bunch and you wil get a lot of support. I hope your dad recovers quickly from the SCT and gets home quickly
My husband had his SCT 3 months ago and goes tomorrow for 100 day assessment. Fi I can only tell you what I did. The most important thing I think is to vet any visitor. We only allowed family to visit for the first 6 weeks (think that's what it was). They knew they were not to come anywhere near their dad if they as much as had a sniffle. Hand sanitizer was left at the door and they used it before seeing their dad. All surfaces In the house house were wiped down twice a day and after visitors (I was a bit paranoid). I asked the consultant if Frank could take anything to help build neutrophils and she said no. She said that his diet should be that of a pregnant women – no patty, soft cheese , no takeaways until the neutrophils rose. Frank also continued to use the mouth wash for some time after leaving hospital. It did take him some time to get appetite back and was very weak for some time. (Mind you he was a bit quicker in having a whiskey 🙂
There will be other people coming along and giving you their tips. Hope your dad has a smooth recovery
Love Jean x
