Numbers were in this morning. Platelets were 34 which means we were headed home!!! Monday we were at 4, Tuesday at 6 and today at 34. Normal range is 150 to 450, so obviously we are still a little low. The plan is that with the treatment she received the numbers will keep going up. We check blood work again on Monday. We have to watch her this weekend for any signs and symptoms of bleeding, if we see any we just call them. She also has been informed no jumping, ramming, bumping or rough housing. Anything that increases her risk of injury, bruising or bleeding she needs to not do. Not sure how that's going to work but we'll try. She is happy to be home, but it's obvious at times, she doesn't feel well. She gets very irrational and there is NOTHING you can do right for her. So we walk away. Eventually she comes around.
Brooke packed up and walked right out of that hospital. They asked if she wanted a wheelchair, she said, "no, that's how I got here." Hehe, she remembered riding in the wheelchair to her room :)
This is how we all feel right now. Us old parents are just as tired as the 4 year old. Keeping these kids going is not for the weak. But the older I get, the weaker I feel, hehe.
We'll see how the weekend goes. Fall back into routine. Praise God for a short visit and that she has responded to the treatment. To us her color still looks off, but we'll just have to wait and see. I'd rather stare at her at home than in the hospital :)
