Hanging Out At Home

Hello Dear Friends & Family,
Morgan was discharged from Children's Hosp. as planned on Sunday the 13th. She has done well this past week. Her nausea didn't seem to be quite as bad as with the treatments prior. This is in part due to a "big" dose of Zofran just before discharge. The dose of Zofran was a 24 hour dose. We will definitely do that again. She had a blood draw on Friday and as expected her counts were very low. Her ANC was 0 and her Hemoglobin was 7.6 which meant another blood transfusion Friday evening. She tolerated the transfusion well and was able to return home as soon as it was finished.

Although she has been confined to the house this week, she has been busy with school. Butler Tech Online gives her the flexibility to work anytime she wants. She is currently taking the four core subjects----algebra, biology, english, history and health.
We will have blood drawn again tomorrow and hopefully her white counts will be close enough to normal that she can get out and do things. We are both ready for lunch at Asian Wok and a trip to check out the new Nordstroms at Kenwood :-)

You are welcome to leave comments on this blog if you would like. We love reading them. Thanks for reading the blog and keeping up with Morgan's journey. Although it is a difficult journey we look to our Lord for the strength to move ahead even on the days that involve lots of needles, medicine, blood, mediport, GFR's, scans.............you get it. Many of you are dealing with your own trials. Don't ever think that we get so bogged down with our own burdens that we don't pray for you......we do. We have been blessed with so many dear friends, a caring church, great neighbors and loving family members and folks that we haven't met yet that know about Morgan's situation and take time to lift her up in prayer. THANKS!
