So as some of you already know, I was released from the Mayo Clinic yesterday after 3 long weeks! It was a big surprise since my nurse told me in the morning that my white blood cell count numbers had jumped significantly but that I would still have to stay one more day for monitoring. But when I met with Dr. Reeder an hour later he over ruled her and said that I was in good enough shape to return home!!! It was a little strange leaving the hospital after such a long stay but I think that I am getting used to being home now after a nights sleep in a real bed... Now I am going to be going through weekly blood tests and then probably some radiation just to make sure that everything is completely killed before I get sent back home to Hawaii!!! By the way, if anyone out there in Hawaii is looking for a roommate or knows of a place to rent that isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg please let me know as I need to start planning my return!
Home sweet, home!

Yea! We were thinking about you & glad to hear you were not detained longer than you needed to be. We imagine you sprinted out of there as fast as you could before any Dr. could change their minds. So...any ETA for home? So happy for you.
