We are home again!! Of course, there was some drama involved, but we are home nonetheless.
Carson's ANC jumped to 115 this morning. We thought this would be enough to get our ticket out of Dodge, but this was Monday. On Monday there's a shift change in doctors making rounds on the ward...and the new doctor advised that the target number for discharge was really 250.
Our sails went from fully stretched to complete slack in a fraction of a second. Ugh.
We pleaded our case. Carson holstered his laser gun and put on his most angelic face. The doctors conferred. And in the end, we were given our pass and arrived home around 5 this evening. Yeah!!!
This is just a breather...we know we will be heading back to the hospital in about a week as we kick off the next phase of treatment with a heavy round of chemo.
Thank you for all the prayers!!
Paul.
