I'm home!

So great to be home! The first thing I did to celebrate being home was to take a snuggly nap with my favorite blankie on my couch.

It took some time and some creative maneuvering by my nurse and the social worker to figure out a pharmacy that would be willing to provide me with pre-measured heparin shots. It's really labor intensive for them because they will put together one ten day supply at a time and that means thirty shots every ten days. But they came up with a great plan that involves the pharmacy in the Cancer Center and the pharmacy that is in the same complex. Whew. We're praying that this drug will be successful in controlling my blood-clot producing body.

Lauri, the beautiful bouquet you sent to me has the most fragrant lilies! The nurses all talked about how when they opened my door, instead of the usual hospital smells they get used to, they got a huge whiff of lilies. They liked coming to my room to smell them. And now they are making my house have a sweet fragrance. Thank you so much.

Emily and her family came over tonight bringing Em's homemade chicken noodle soup and some biscuits! The soup is delicious and sure hit the spot. She also picked up some groceries for me. So helpful.

Greg was so thoughtful and has clean sheets on our bed and he vacuumed the whole house. He knows the way to my heart.

I never get tired of saying thank you to all of you who are praying for us. Please know that we feel so blessed to know so many people care about us. God bless you all tonight. Love, Julie
