2 down 2 to go

Things got better after yesterday's crazy morning.  Once Charlotte got some blood into her and a good nap, she was back to her normal self.  She was literally skipping out of the hospital when we got to leave at 3 pm. 

All in all she handled the weekend pretty well.  She cleared the high dose methotrexate within 48 hours which is a good sign that her system is doing what it should be.  We think the rash on the arm is from her hospital bracelet.  She also had the hoarse voice again, a side effect from the vincristine (another chemo drug), but the voice is already returning to normal.  No sore bum this time which is great.

We made it home to a more rested daddy who had managed an afternoon nap along with Nathan.  The crazy lightning storm hit as I was putting the kids down and Stefan had made a run to the grocery store.  I was a little worried thinking about my honey outside with that metal plate in his head.  I told my self I was over reacting, but the next morning I heard that there were two people struck by lighting!  One in Coquitlam and one in Burnaby.  Scary!  Glad Stefan wasn't out for long - that would be just our luck.

We are all pretty happy to be home and enjoying family time.  We will take Charlotte to get a blood test on Friday to see if we can get out of the bubble until our next trip to the hospital (next Friday, which will come way to fast).
