After the FABULOUS Halloween Parade at the hospital yesterday, we received notice that Jill was cleared to go. Mark & Beth scrambled around cleaning up our condo (THANKS you guys), then Mark drove up to the hospital to help us move out (filling our empty gas tank on the way...sorry about that), Beth took Anna & daughter Maddie trick-or-treating---navigating her way through the suspicious streets of San Pedro, and Jill got in her carseat for the first time in almost one month....she had big wide eyes the whole way home...."Tars! Yites! PeePoh (Cars, lights people)!"
When she got home, she marveled at her old surroundings...."My toys! My bed! My books!" And then, the obvious disappointment, "Where Anna?"
When Anna got home from trick-or-treating, the two picked up where they left off...rolling around on the floor, hugging, being hugged, and pushing hugs away, arguing about nonsense, sitting 'n spinning, coloring, dressing up (Anna had trouble putting on her slippers, and Jill said, "It's otay Anna, I hep you!") and just enjoying the comfortable company of each other.............
We have an appointment at the hospital tomorrow for blood checks, and a bone marrow draw on Monday....she could be admitted anytime after Monday (but definitely by Wednesday)...sooner if she comes down with a fever.
We are so happy to be a family at home again.
