Home at last

Olivia was able to get discharged today at around 8pm. Her blood counts are still low,  no improvement from yesterday. But because she had no more fever,  the doctors let her go home so she can attend her uncle's wedding. It made her so happy! Not once did she complain when I told her we have to stay at the hospital for a few days. She understands. When she was told she can go home,  she cried happy tears. As soon as she got home she asked to practice her flower girl walk!

We just need to be very careful because she's prone to infections due to low ANC. She'll be wearing her mask and will be taking a lot of rest during the wedding. The doctor said if she develops a fever,  we will need to bring her back to the hospital right away. Her infection was most likely viral because the blood culture was negative from bacterial infection. 

We also asked the doctor about Olivia's hair loss because she lost so much hair the past few days. She said even at maintenance phase,  she will still lose hair but she won't get bald.

All chemo is still on hold. Olivia is scheduled to come back on friday next week for blood counts to see if she is ready for chemo again.

After bedtime prayer tonight,  Olivia said she was so happy to be home. God is good all the time!
