On Tuesday, Gelica’s counts were too low.\u00c2\u00a0 She had a fissure and there was only a slim chance that she would come home, even this weekend.\u00c2\u00a0 Yesterday morning, the oncology doctors came in for their usual daily visit and reported that the nurses were not showing any signs of the fissure in her “specimens”, and that her counts were coming up nicely.\u00c2\u00a0 There was a short discussion between various specialists, and they came back in the room to inform us that…<\/p>\n

There was no reason for us to stay any longer.\u00c2\u00a0 There was a procedure for this morning, but we could do that as an out-patient. So…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Gelica packed up the room basically by herself as I talked to a few specialists and doctors to make sure we had everything for going home.\u00c2\u00a0 We got our discharge orders, took three trips to the car to load everything in, and then CAME HOME!!!!<\/p>\n

We had dinner as a family and hung out as a family. I played with the boys and sung them to sleep. I tucked two sisters into bed and prayed for them.\u00c2\u00a0 Patti sat and nursed Judah while I did one load of dishes.\u00c2\u00a0 It was the most normal of household activities and it was wonderful.\u00c2\u00a0 Patti and I slept in the same bed for the first time in a month.<\/p>\n

Gelica and I did have to go back to Children’s today through rush hour traffic and it was worth it.\u00c2\u00a0 We had to go through the outpatient routine for the first time, and it was still worth it.\u00c2\u00a0 Doing this together as a family is WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY better.\u00c2\u00a0 Thank you to everyone that has been praying that the numbers would go in the right direction, and that the fissure would go away.\u00c2\u00a0 That is exactly what happened and a couple days ahead of what we were told, and this is the first time that something has happened ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n

Thank you God!!!<\/p>\n
