Mar 11 - Busting Loose- Take 2

Her ANC tripled! That coupled with the fact that all others numbers are very good sealed the deal. She's coming home today. She texted me so excited this morning when she found out. Our plans seem to change moment by moment so this was no different. We headed down to the hospital to pick her up.
We got there and spoke with the doctor. He wants her to start back to school. I am terrified. A small virus just landed her in the hospital for a week! What is he thinking?? This is crazy talk. We talked about it on the way home and decided to try for a few hours on Wednesday to see how it goes.
When we got into her room we were faced with one last task, her daily bandage change from her wound near her old PiCC line. The special material that is used to dry up the wound got stuck in the wound. Now what ? No wound specialist there. We looked up the info from the manufacturer which said if it gets stuck, use saline to help loosen it. The nurse was using wound cleaner so we switched to saline and that worked.
Change done. Packed up. Ran out as fast as we could before they could change their minds!!!
