Hospital Stay 1 - Day 5

January 16, 2016 - Day 5

We are going home today!!!

Dr. V came in this morning and told us that his numbers were up and we were good to go home. He had slept all night and the surgery area looked fine. :)

We waited for breakfast and for the nurses to come in to take out his IV and line into the port. Once those were out we were free to go home. Levi walked himself out! Proud and happy to be free. :)

Of course it was snowing, but we didn't care. Took it nice and slow and made it home without an issue. Stopping for Slushies and chicken nuggets for lunch.

On our way home!!!

Once we got home Levi was very happy to see all of his toys and to play. He hit a wall around 2pm and we put him down for his regular nap.

We went out for celebratory ice cream after dinner at Friendlys!

It sure is nice to be home!!! :)

Current Plans:
We are going to do blood work every Thursday and Monday to keep a very close eye on his levels. Currently his port can not be accessed so those are still vein draws. If his platelet count drops below 150 we will be back in Lebanon for Plasma infusions. We are trying to determine a regular schedule for infusions, but need to see what his highs and lows are in the mean time. We are hoping infusions can be every 3 weeks, but they may need to be more often then that. At this point it is still a giant wait and see game!
