FINALLY they arrived home at 7:30pm. When the daily blood counts came back from the lab, Adrienne knew that if they went home, they would be back to“day care” by tomorrow or Sunday for platelets, so she insisted Kenna be spared an additional transition and they waited while benadryl and then the platelets were infused. That made it late enough that Daddy could pick them up this time.
Carsyn was thrilled to see them, full of love and attention--for Kenna. She really missed her sister. Kenna was a little clingy and uneasy, but taking their favorite walk around the corner to get a Slurpee was a good welcome home outing for all three girls while Daddy went to pick up the prescriptions. The blood tests are still showing some up and down of the indicators that the bone marrow has a little bit of activity. It’s encouraging but still too soon to say that the treatment has been successful. We’ll keep hoping that another round will not be needed, and that we can avoid another exposure to any infections for a while.
