Day 66

My favorite girl

We’re home and happy.  We were pardoned at around 4pm and finally left at 6.  These hospital stays are exhausting for all of us because we are up most of the night for potty time every 2 hours.  Plus, there is construction at the hospital that seems to start at around 7am every morning – that doesn’t help things at all.  Gene was on duty last night and was pretty tired when I got to the hospital today.  Kennedy was nauseated most of the day but it went away and we had a great night at home.

The Greco family dropped off Maddox around 7 tonight and stayed for dinner (thank you Chris and Angela!).  Maddox had a great mini vacation hanging out with Anthony but was super excited to come home and see his sister.  He ran upstairs and gave her a big hug the minute he came home.  Kennedy insisted on skyping with Maddox both nights she was in the hospital.

K and Emma tonight

Kennedy was very excited to see and play with Emma.  K is borderline neutropenic so of course I was chasing the children around the house with hand sanitizer but it was worth it to see her smile.  Kennedy’s counts will probably drop lower over the next few days so we were lucky to sneak in a play date before she is on complete lock down.  Looking forward to a nice day at home tomorrow and a bit of calm before the chemo kicks in. 

Pictures from Maddox’s mini vacay and K’s weekend below.  She had fun doing syringe painting in the playroom - who would of thought that syringes make a great painting tool?
