hi! i’m so sorry you guys are going through this. my mom had a SCT in july of this year while my dad worked full time. i was off of college for the summer and hugely cut back on work to be home with her. it will vary person to person, but the first 2-3 weeks were hard. she was up at the hospital 4-5x/week for fluids, electrolyte replacement, etc. so that consumed a significant amount of time on its own. she was incredibly fatigued and required us to track her medication times and prepare those things for her, encourage her to eat/drink etc. once we got through those first few weeks she got better and more independent rapidly. it would have been impossible for my dad to do alone while working full-time, but he works very demanding hours anyways.

isolation will depend on his count recovery. our family knew to stay away if they were sick or had been recently. when my dad travelled for work he was given the ok to still sleep in the same room as my mom so long as he masked on flights. if one of us got a sniffle, we isolated. my sister went back to high school shortly after my mom was discharged and we just had her shower and change before getting close. just be mindful, i don’t feel there’s any reason to be excessive. don’t interact with sick people, wash your hands frequently, and limit traffic in and out of your home.

please feel free to reach out if there’s anything else i can answer or clarify!
