A close call
We made it home tonight! It was a close call--a borderline number, but luckily they let us go. Here is a picture of Steven right after we got home. He was so happy to be here. I was so happy I cried the whole way home. I don't know if it was all happiness that brought the tears--probably a mix of happiness, sadness, stress and relief. I had a pretty long wish lists of things to do today, but considering we are working on the cancer cure, this is the number one priority. And now we are officially half way through chemo: 9 rounds down and 9 to go.
