Today is Donnie's last day in the hospital. They are discharging him within the hour. I just got back here yesterday night and he has been doing realy well. On Saturday, he wasn't neutropenic anymore so masks are no longer needed and he is able to eat more foods that were restricted before. Yesterday, they were going to let him leave but his platelets were still a little low, but today they are where they need to be so he is able to leave. His rash is almost completely gone too. Other than feeling a little wore out, he's feeling great. He is so ready to get out of here, he's ready for some real food and fresh air and probably a hundred other things. He can't do everything though, he can't be around large crowds of people {malls, movie theaters, grocery stores} or restaurants at least for the first 2 weeks. There is just more risks of getting an infection when he is around all those people and germs. We will still need to come back all week for him to get check up's but he is in the home stretch of putting all this behind us! We are beyond ready to not have to spend days and weeks and months at doctor's appointment's and hospital stays. We will be staying at Aunt Lu's for at least another week and then my mom is going to bring the kids here and we will keep them with us until Donnie is able to go home for good. We are so ready to be home, especially me, I am sick of driving back and forth every few days. I think I've put 2000 miles on my car in the last 3 weeks! I can't believe that the day is finally here and he is able to get out!
