We have a plan!

"Each of my days are miracles. I won't waste my day; I won't throw away miracle."
--Kelley Vicstrom

Jack's platelet count was 24 today!! Even the doctors are excited! We are working on getting the oxygen stuff picked up and tomorrow we are going to the clinic for more labs and a day of paperwork - DISCHARGE PAPERWORK!! Everything will be spelled out on that volume of paperwork - medications, doctor appointments, return visit to Boston, etc. A copy for us, Charlotte doctor, and anyone that I may need on the way home (God forbid!)

Our plan is to work on packing up the apartment today and tomorrow and begin the trek home on Wednesday. We will take our time and just do as much as we feel like.

Jack is on the phone now making his appointment with Dr Parker (our Charlotte doctor) for next week. He needs to see him every two weeks for a month and then monthly after that. We will also get our appointment for July in Boston to see how much progress we have made with all of this. I will have to start planning our trip to the Cape or wherever since I will know the dates.

Needless to say but we are both very happy, relieved and ready to go home!

"Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before leading wherever I choose."--Walt Whitman ("Song of the Open Road" Leaves of Grass)
