We were discharged today at 1:00pm and after 2 hours and 45 minutes of driving in traffic we finally made it home!!!!! We came home to a phone call from Anne the nurse practioner with great news of Jack still being 100% donor. Even though his counts have been low and it's a scarey thing we have the good news of knowing he isn't loosing his graft. Thank You God and Thank you all for the knocks, crosses and prayers. They all have been answered. We still need some prayers to get us through. Jack came home with his port accessed and we are starting TPN (IV nutrition) at home tonight. We are waiting on the home care nurse to arrive to give us the final details and show us what needs to be done and of course done correctly to protect Jack from infection. This is the one thing I said I never wanted to do but Jack responded so well in a weeks time gaining 5 pounds that it's really too good of a thing to not take advantage of at home. We are looking forward to having a very healthy Jack.
Christina and Jack have already gotten into their normal routine and Christina is running around with a happy meal box on her head and a cape on her back yelling "Super Baby" and cracking Jack up. Let's hope they don't start fighting yet!!!!!
Thank you all again for keeping us in your prayers. We're settling in for a nice family weekend.
God Bless
