Home Sweet Home

We were finally discharged at 5 pm today. We had our discharge instructions given to us at 2:30, and then had to sit around and wait for two and a half hours for the resident on call to come and tell us we could go...it's fun being on someone else's time. The doctor decided to consider Riley's bump an insect bite, and sent us home on some strong antibiotics. I'm not convinced it is an insect bite, but whatever. Her blood culture and nasal swab all came back negative, and because her blood counts were good we were able to come home. Riley still does have her cough, but they don't really like to medicate that unless it keeps her up at night...which it doesn't. Hopefully it will be better by Tuesday, or we may have to reschedule the port placement surgery.
Oh, and we still haven't heard any bone marrow results...but our nurse today told us we were in remission. He said if they had found something we would have had an army of doctor's in our room speaking in soft voices. Fortunately, this did not happen. So, at this point we will consider no news good news.
