Homecoming

Finally after a mere 50 days incarcerated in Room 358 on 3 East at Eisenhower we have been liberated. We broke out at about 3:00 PM on Monday. Our delay was due to mom needing 2 units of blood in her tank so she would have the fuel to get home. They were very sad to see us leave as they have not had a cash cow like that in a while. We arrived home to cheers and hugs. Mom requested a New York steak and baked potato for dinner (It appears the outstanding food service at Ike has raised her taste expectations), which she gulped down with eagerness. For desert Becky made chocolate chip cookies and Shalaine brownies, no problem, they disappeared as well. It would seem the no taste for chocolate is behind us, can diet coke be far behind? She then enjoyed an evening of TV and conversation and above all a good nights sleep in her own bed with Napoleon tucked beside her pillow.
Our next adventure will be at the City of Hope on Monday the 14th to find out where we go from here. Dr. Dreisbach is still very concerned about her suseptability to infections and so we continue to encourage prayers and dicourage visitors.
