This is my excited face.Today I was released from the hospital! I just barely got home and thought I better hurry and post the good news before anyone else decides to come visit me and finds and empty room! My aunt Nola just barely made it in before I was discharged, and another friend was going to come this afternoon before I text him that I was going home!
It feels really good to be home. I'm so glad things went so well the entire time I was in the hospital and I was able to be released so soon. The nurse said that most patients are feeling pretty lousy even when they are discharged, so again I feel very blessed to be doing so well! I have to be careful for the next few weeks still, with my diet and avoiding crowds and sick people. I have to wear the mask each time I go back up to the hospital for check ups and such, and if I'm in public places. I think I'll just mostly stay home to avoid any risks anyway. At least I am home though, and don't have to be woken up at 4 AM every day to have my blood drawn, amongst other annoyances of hospital life!

Yes, he is home! He was released at around 2:30 this afternoon. I was surprised at the amount of stuff he had in his hospital room that we had to pack up! We had an exit meeting with the nurses we he were told the do's and don'ts and we have the big BMT info book that lists everything. They had originally told us that he needed to stay within 30 minutes of the hospital (our house is 45 in good traffic), so we had arranged for him to stay at his grandparents house for a few days. But the nurse told us that our house would be fine because he is doing so well. They have been amazed at how good Ryan has come through this and said it is a very rare thing. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for getting your house ready just in case and sorry you made that big pot of homemade soup that we won't be eating now. Hopefully you'll be able to find someone to share it with!

Ryan, we are SO happy for you!!! My kids are so upset with us that we never got to visit you in the hospital! We've had much sickness rotating through the family though and definitely didn't want to spread anything to you! We're so glad you are still doing so well. Sleep in!!!
