Home Sweet Home

We are finally home.  We didn't get home until 5:00.  Her nutrafills went up to 700 from 500 after having arsenic yesterday.  Her heart number was too high today to have arsenic.  We knew all day long that we were leaving and it was driving Alyssa crazy that she couldn't leave.  She has to have home health for two dosages of magnesium.  They were suppose to deliver the iv and someone was suppose to come and show us how to adminster the magnesium.  I just called them and they are delivering before 8 tonight. 

Alyssa was so funny when we were driving home.  She said is was very strange to be in the passenger seat in her car.  She just looked around and took everything in.  It is funny how much you appreciate the little things that get taken away from us.

What are schedule will be from now on is that we will have to go up to the hospital everyday and they have to test to see if they can do arsenic.  If they can they do it we will stay there,  if they can't we will go home.  When her nutrafills get to 1000  they will do another bone marrow biopsy and see what is going on. 

Alyssa still has to be very careful around a lot of people.  Our days will be filled with going to the hospital and then coming home.  She was pretty funny walking up the stairs she couldn't believe how tired she got going up the stairs but she is such a trooper and she said this is really good for me.

  6. You are finally home. I was hopeful that you'd get to home on Friday, and it looks like you showed us all who was the boss.

    You've been through something that most people will never be able to understand and you've come out on top. We're all so very proud of you and thankful for your strong spirit. You have taught us all what it means to be strong in the sight of adversity.

    -Patrick, Brenda and Zach
