Homeward bound

James is doing really well. His counts are all up except platelets were low this morning. His cells are officially grafted in. They said he will get to go home probably Wednesday. He has his GFR tomorrow morning to get the next right dose for his last round of chemo. The only thing keeping him here is switching all his meds from IV to oral. As long as he can handle taking them he should be ok to leave. He is shedding all his skin like a snake. It's kinda nasty. He is very excited to go home and play with his sister who he hasn't seen in like two months. He's been a little cranky but that's ok. He has gotten very used to everyone doing everything for him all the time so we have been trying to make him get things and do things for himself. I think the nurses think I'm a very mean mom cause I always tell him no he can get it and then he gets mad at me. When he doesn't feel good I try and cut him some slack but when he's better I make him do it. We are excited to have him home for a week before he has to come back. Only one more round to go! As this last round draws near I find myself more and more nervous that the cancer will come back. They said it's very hard to get rid of a second time.
