Katie and I are out of the hospital, but not home. We are staying with Art and Kathy because the doctors didn't want us to be too far away. We have never been out of the hospital with numbers as low as they are right now. Her ANC is still hovering between 10 and 20. Her hemoglobin and her platelets dropped again this morning and she got a platelet transfusion before we left the hopsital. But, the general consensus was that nothing was wrong with Katie and everyone was just waiting for her body to start to rebuild itself. Since she wasn't sick she might as well coninue the process in a more comfortable atmosphere. So she left the hospital wearing a mask and went straight to Grandma's house. This way we are just 3 miles away from the hospital and we can get back there in an instant if anything changes.
Right now, she is snuggled deeply into the blankets in her bed here at her grandparents' house. She is very happy to be in a place that feels like home and she is going to sleep great tonight without the regular checkups by the nursing staff all night long.
Tomorrow is her birthday. We are very lucky to that we aren't going to have to celebrate it in the hospital.
