We're Home!!!

Cora didn't have any allergic reactions to her first 3 medications that were administered last night. She even took her really nasty tasting steroid like a champ in chocolate milk. She slept very well last night and played all morning. Her blood counts were moving in the right direction and her vital signs were strong. To our surprise, the doctor came in this morning and said, "Everything looks good and she is reacting well so we aren't doing anything here that you can't do at home. So you can take her." I freaked out a little just because I was so nervous to be responsible for her at home and so scared of complications. After hours and hours of conversations with doctors, nurses, and the pharmacist, here we are. It is still nerve racking and we will have to go to the outpatient clinic every few days for injections and treatments. (Her first clinic treatment is Thursday at 11) We are only beginning this battle, but I feel hopeful and good about things at this point. We know all the prayers are working. Cora was so glad to be home. She just sorta waddled around all night with a smile on her face. (she has a stiff sore back from the marrow biopsy and a terribly swollen abdomen...that's why it was a waddle) When I put her in her bed she rolled and rolled around with a big grin and told me that her bed is so soft! She is already feeling better. Pray that we will be very accurate with her medications and really on top of any symptoms that might occur. PLEASE keep praying! We had more visitors and calls and cards again today! Our entire family is completely in awe of all the love and support we are receiving. We will get through this!!! Cora's so tough!
