Goin' Home

Hi everyone. Guest blogger Robbie here. I arrived here from Vermont this morning and now am at the hospital with Cathi and Lori playing the waiting game. We anticipate leaving around 4 this afternoon; all the pieces are falling into place, however slowly. Cathi is reallly looking forward to getting out of here and getting back to her own space, with her own bed and Wii and other toys. Here's today's data: the WBC (white blood count) is at 4.5, which is great. Hemoglobin is 6.2 and platelet count is 33. Cathi still has pain in her lower right chest area but she feels that it's muscular, relating to the clots at the picc line in her left arm and having to haul herself in and out of bed with her right arm all the time. Once she's home it should improve quickly. She says she feels pretty loopy and tired. That's about it for now; we expect the next post will be from the house.
