We're Home!
Home, of course, being the Ronald McDonald house... Ben was released from the hospital this afternoon. It is so nice to be in our own space and to be able to spend time with family. As long as Ben stays healthy, he can stay out of the hospital for a while. I have taken a crash course in nursing and have to give medicines, shots, and take care of his central line. It is a LOT of work and a LOT of reponsibility. I already had to call the hospital tonight with questions about his medicine. Ben is happy! He runs, what's new, like any normal busy one year old. He has not thrown up once yet but he is not out of the woods yet. His blood counts should drop dramatically over the next week. We will not only have to watch for infection, but also avoid bruises and cuts. Chances are, we will be back in the hospital for some reason before the next chemo round starts. We are doing well!
