I saw the kids today!!!! I was so happy. They both came running across this big field and dove into my arms with big hugs and kisses. I guess they still remember me In all seriousness, we had a really nice time playing in a park across the street from the hospital. Ty was as sweet as could be and Kieran was his crazy, usual self, but adorable all the same. The visit will keep me going for the remaining days I need to be here. They’re little faces are a great reminder of why I am fighting so hard to get through this.

My white counts still haven’t gone up but the platelet transfusion I did last night gave me another big jump. Any day now my white count should start climbing and I’ll be safe to go home. I don’t think I’ll be going home tomorrow, but hopefully later in the week. If I can make it home by Friday, I’ll be happy. Obviously the sooner the better.

I also want to thank Roseann for coming by to do Reiki with me. I have no idea what she does or how it works, but I always feel more at peace when she is finished. Our session today was, as Roseann said, full of positive energy. I know part of that is the boost from seeing my kids, but let’s also hope it is my bone marrow working hard to rebuild.
