Home for a Bit

Our doctor let us go home today. Kelby's ANC was 300 and she was looking and feeling better this morning. She ate two popsicles. I had noticed some white sores in her mouth yesterday, and today the doctor said he thinks that she has Thrush. Thrush is a fungal yeast infection in the mouth. So, we got some medicine for that and headed home. That stuff is probably the reason Kelby does't want to eat. So, we'll give her Tylenol and try and get her to eat. We have to take her blood counts everyday now. When her ANC is 1000 we'll likely be back at the hospital, so they can start taking those special blood counts before the stem cell harvesting unless we can convince the doctor otherwise. If Kelby needs to start the IV nutrition, then we will for sure go back to the hospital. At least we get a night at home in our own beds without interruption tonight!
