Day 18 ....There Is No Place Like Home!

Louise entered her home about 1:30 today. Everyone was so excited to have her home. Even our dog Sport was all over her. There were no complications today that would keep her in the hospital. Her white blood count was down to the normal levels. The doctor thought that she had probably walked too much the day before and then had had so little sleep because of the Mexican party going on in the bed next to hers to all hours of the night. Otherwise she probably could have easily gone home the day before. But she is doing so well. She had to lay down and catch her breath in the hospital before she left because putting clothes on herself for the first time in 18 days was a much bigger job than she thought. The doctor was very pleased with her progress and his prognosis was very good!

Emily flew in from Utah last night to take care of her for the next 4 days. She and I brought her home today and I finally could go back to work and try to start my recovery from under a lot of back-up work. My company has been so patient and supportive through this.

So thus ends a big chapter in Louise's road to recovery!!
