Tuesday, Nathan was discharged from the hospital. He says he wants to do everything in his power not to go back.
Nathan is recovering slowly. Our main objective is still to try to get him to eat and have him keep it down. He still isn't drinking, but we are able to give him IV fluids at home so we don't have to spend 8+ hours at the clinic every day. That is a wonderful thing. His counts aren't recovering at any amazing speed. They are still kind of going sideways. Once they start building, he will feel better faster.
We are moving to an apartment closer to the hospital. I have scrubbed and sanitized everything and I think it will be a great place to be for the next ten weeks.
I can't wait to have the kids start to visit. I'm missing being with them for all the Halloween fun!
We have gotten in contact with the church here and that has been a great blessing. We met Stake President Fairbanks and Ann and John Rotham, who are in charge of helping hospital families. They are an amazing couple. We were also visited by our new home teachers yesterday and they brought us the sacrament.
We were invited to have dinner with Richard and Zonthiry Johnson. It's always fun to see them!
Nathan had a bone and bone marrow biopsy. Today he will have a CT scan and soon a lumbar puncture. Since the doctors don't expect Nathan to be cancer free, I don't look forward to the results of these tests. I feel certain Nathan will get better, but if the results aren't great, it just means a longer road and Nathan and I are both ready for our lives to get back to normal.
