Day 572

December22

Surprise!

When the doctor came into my room this morning, he informed me that my white count was 10,000!!!! He asked me if I wanted to go home today instead of tomorrow and I said “yes!” It’s a little hard to believe I’m actually here. I feel fine but am dealing with some adjustment anxiety. Just nervous about dust and dirt and all of the things that “could” be harmful to my new immune system. I need to settle in and relax. I need to learn to trust my body a little.

But most importantly, I am home sweet home and my kids were completely surprised to see me. Ty couldn’t believe I made it home before Christmas. He was pretty excited. I am definitely feeling the love :)

Unless something comes up I probably won’t post for a couple of days. I want to enjoy this time with my family and rest. I thank all of you for your incredible encouragement and support over the last few weeks. I believe your prayers and positive thoughts played a huge part in getting me home so quickly. I wish everyone the happiest of holidays!!!

    Jess, what a GREAT surprise we’ve been all praying and waiting for! So glad you are home with your little angels… err.. “angels”. Have a very merry Christmas and restful but very-very short months of recovery!
