Mom was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon today and arrived home around 3:30! She said she loved her first breath of fresh air (after 7 weeks)! We had the house all ready for her and she's enjoying being home very much. Her counts are all great today and there's a nurse stopping by tonight to check on her.
She can have visitors but we can't stress enough that you must be perfectly healthy to see her. We don't want to take any chances on her getting sick while she's home. It's good that her white count is up, which fights infection, but she still is weaker than normal. If you'd like to come see her sometime please call Amy to make sure mom is up for visitors. Amy's number is 815-343-5977. And if you do get a chance to stop by, we ask that you keep your visits short and sweet since mom is still not 100%.
Thank you all SO much for your support, for your prayers, and for all the love you've shown us these past few months. As you know, we're not through it yet, but we've put our trust in the Lord and know He will see us through. We love you all.
Thank God, Mary!!! So glad that you are home at last. Enjoy yourself and take extra special care, don't want you back in the hospital any sooner than need be. My prayers continue for you and your family. Thanks to your family for keeping everyone updated. I hope they will continue to do so. Again, so glad you are home!!
