Day +37 Home At Last

We came home on Friday March 16th (Day +25) !!!!! Finally we are home and getting settled into a routine again. Spring Break is over and the girls have went back to school ... not so happy I might add! Quinn wore himself out playing with the girls last week and his clinic appointments. We have clinic appointments every Monday and Thursday so far. We have been checking his labs/counts and receiving platelets. So far his Hemaglobin is holding strong at 10.3-10.78 which is really good! Especially for Quinn and is within the normal range. We are thinking that he might be spitting out a few red cells. I have never seen his hands and feet so red before. It is like the blood is circulating in a normal body! His White Count is not as spiffy as the RBC unfortunately. Monday he received another dose of GCSF again to try and boost his white cell count up. I will be anxious to see what that number is tomorrow. As of Monday he was at 1080 which is much lower than it was the Thursday before. It is possible that he will have to have some cells added. We will know within the next several weeks I believe. The Dr. mentioned that he would try to wait until Day +45 or there abouts before he made a decision.

Quinn's energy level is slowly returning and see him making strides to his old self. His eating is not back to normal that is for sure. But, is trying and at this point he lives for Chipolte. We should buy stock or something in the company I think!

I am slowly getting back into my routine and trying to take my house back so to speak and get things organized the way it was. Owen and the girls tried to keep things up but it wasnt the way I left things. At least it was cleaned very thorough before we came home and was safe for Quinn. Hopefully, a few more days and I will have it back together. Just in time to get the short sleeve spring/summer clothes out for the kiddos and order long sleeve shirts for Quinn (no short sleeves allowed out of the house). Then my office will be the next spot. My wonderful little 4 legged creatures somehow made it in while the door was left open and made a huge mess with my papers that I had sorted! Fun Stuff!

Thanks to all for the continued prayers. Unfortunately, we are not out of the woods just yet but are on much safer grounds!
