The doctors woke me up this morning with brief, unexpected, and amazingly hopeful news. That’s right, I may be able to go home today.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed, but here’s what I know for now.
- My white blood count is back to normal.
- I’ve been without a fever for well over 24 hours.
- The pain has subsided significantly.
I still haven’t eaten anything other than ice and water, so they want to see how my stomach handles the transition before giving the final OK. It’s not a done deal yet, but things are definitely looking up! If all goes well I may be out of here sometime this evening. Your continued prayers are sure appreciated!
Last night Lacey came to visit me after school. We talked for a bit and then snuggled as we watched Amelie in the hospital bed together. For a moment the busyness of the hospital seemed to slow down, no one was coming in to poke me with another needle, my IV machine wasn’t beeping, and I wasn’t in pain. In that moment, for the first time, I forgot I was in the hospital. It was exactly what I needed, to feel normal if only for a moment.
Hopefully my next post will be from home. Thanks for the tremendous outpouring of love and support over the last five days! It means more than you know…
Fantastic!! We continue to pray.
Have been praying for you. Sounds like God has everything under control. :)
