Day 774 (Y2D44) ChemoRl

Labor Day Monday was marvelous.

Mom got discharged from the hospital after a 3.5 week stay! She was ecstatic to say the least and packed up her room with alarming speed. Daddy was watching us all day so Mommy called up Auntie Rachel to bring her home and surprised both us and Daddy. Wednesday she will go to the Cancer Center to get her blood counts verified and Friday she will meet with Dr. M to find out the next steps involved in her up and coming outpatient chemotherapy round.

Mommy noticed that we can speak in longer sentences. Twinks says 'I can do it' after she accomplishes something like climbing up in the couch. Dinks can easily sing her ABCs. Mom couldn't stop staring at us and saying how much we have grown and how much better we could sing and play piano. Mom was excited to spend time with V too since she only got to meet her once in the hospital. Daddy took us to get gelato. It was yummy.

Day 773 (Y2D43) ChemoRl

Sunday was swell.

We spent our morning and evening with Daddy. Daddy made us giggle at bathtime with his water spraying antics. We baked cookies with M and sang songs with her.
Mom's WBCs shot up to 1.2! Her neupogen shot tonight should help this upward trend continue! The doctors said if Mom's WBCs keep rising, she can go home in a couple of days.

Daddy brought Mommy a yummy Chinese lunch with a fortune cookie dessert. Mom apparently is going to get a promotion based on her recent accomplishments. The nurses interpreted this message as because Mom did so well in induction she will be promoted from the ground floor, F unit (oncology) to the first floor, E unit (bone marrow transplant)!
