Okay, today is for real the day we are going home! YEA!
Matt's blood counts, etc. have all come back this morning and he is set to go. We are waiting for all the discharge paperwork (I guess) but looks like we could be leaving around noon today.
Doctor will want to start next treatment in 2-3 weeks. Matt will be re-admitted back to hospital for 5 days for chemo on day 1, 3, & 5 for anywhere from two to four months. We will be going weekly into the doctor's office for blood workup and transfusions when needed. So we are on the road to a total remission by Matt's 21st birthday.
Matt looks totally different this morning. He is awake, smiling and cracking a little laugh as the nurses are coming in joking with him this morning. We still want him to eat a breakfast and take a shower before we go. Matt's even talking like he wants to drive over to Mandola's to eat lunch if we get out in time.
Continue your prayers for us. We still have a ways to go. Of course I will not be updating the blog quite as often as I have been in the hospital, but do check back weekly for updates.
Again, thank you to all our family, friends and strangers for your support. Love to you all!
