COMING HOME!
Great news -- Everett's ANC is up from 360 to over 900 today and the doctors plan to discharge him in the morning! I learned how to mix and draw up his ATRA today so we can give him that twice a day at home. Thanks to years at GSK in Safety Pharm this is old hat for me. And we are all set up with a visiting nurse who will come to the house to do his bloodwork and take care of his PICC line. Everett will get to be home for almost 2 weeks and will return to CHP on January 26 to start his first round (of 5 total) of Consolidation treatment. John and I are so excited at the idea of all four of us being home for a couple of weeks. It's just what we need to face another month of treatment:) Everett has just started asking to go home with dad and Avery too, so I think he needs some time at home as much as mom and dad do.
