Home at last!!

This is it, we are home! Emily had her last lot of chemo, that went for a week, and then they sent us home for her to count recover,(as ronald Mcdonald House still closed due to quake, and hosp pretty empty too, think they trying to send as many people away as possible). Dunedin hospital are taking over the rest (which should only involve transfusions and blood tests etc)
I didn't have the internet on for a while, which is why I havnt posted sooner.
Emily is doin really well. She is still neutropeanic but her counts should be up in a month or so. When they do come up, I can't wait to get her out to all the normal things like playgroups, swimming, socalising etc
She will need to have her hickman line surgically removed, which will probably happen in 2 months.
I have been busy as trying to catch up with everyone, Emily's early intervention team etc. It will be good to get a plan for her intervention set in place.
So the chemo is all over, finally. We did it, or, rather, Emily did it!
Emily will have regular blood tests, and I think it is after 3 years, she gets the all clear! so, fingers crossed...
But I feel she will be fine now. The people at choc did the trick with their 'jungle juice' however nasty it was.
