I got to come home Friday afternoon! All of my hard work and pushing myself further then I thought possible paid off. I can't even begin to tell you how happy I truly am to be with my family. Once I got to walk out of those double doors that I had been forbidden to leave for the month on the BMT unit I bawled my eyes out all the way home. I did it! This has truly been the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. But with those dark times I was not left alone. I am forever changed because of the tender mercies of prayer. I was not alone and I truly was blessed. I thank all of you who continue to pray for me and my family. Prayer does work and I do feel those prayers. It helps to give me the strength to fight this with everything I have.
We are not out of the dark yet. We still have a ways to go. I have a home health care nurse who comes in once a week. I also have dr visits once or twice a week and I have to have someone care for me around the clock. I still have no immune system so germs are my biggest enemy. For the most part I am feeling pretty good. I still have nausea and get very fatigued. But I seem to be dealing with all of that much better now that I am home!
