Home for the weekend!!

I was not expecting it at all... I really did think we were staying for another week at least. They got back the results from the MRI and it was clear. The dentist had told us the inflammation and pain and possibly the lymph node could have been a reaction to his molars that are pushing through. So all this time, the last 16 days we could have been at home. But they wanted to be over cautious and treat him with antibiotic after lovely antibiotic. I really do hope that he's not immune to them for when he really needs them!

We packed up (my goodness I have way too many things at the hospital..) and headed home without getting plagued by a fever this time. We went out to dinner, Avery brought a friend and they played. Lyric is NOT neutropenic right now, his counts are coming up nicely so we have a bit more freedom! Lyric will have a sleepover tomorrow night with his good friend Callum hopefully, he so desperately misses his friends and play time. Poor guy.

The house needs to be cleaned.. badly. It's stinky, and there is so much to do. I may just find someone to come while I'm in hospital for long periods of time because it's way too much for me to come back to with such little time.

I'm going out with my friend Robin tonight, so I better get a move on and make myself look half decent.

Oh, by the way.. I'm reading this FANTASTIC book called You Are What You Eat, By Gillian McKeith (apparently the worlds top Nutritionist) .. if you want to feel good, understand and read your vitamin deficiencies, and learn how to eat healthy it's a great book in understanding food and how important it is for our bodies to function at it's optimum. It's not a difficult or long read. It's quite interesting learning the different types of stools and what they actually mean... lol
