WE ARE HOME!!!!!!!
WE ARE HOME!!!!!!!
ALL OF US!!!!! Dillon got discharged yesterday. We will be home Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Monday we head out to Denver for his initial consultation for the bone marrow transplant. We are flying, renting a car, and staying in a hotel. Dillon has been cleared to EAT WHATEVER HE WANTS....a huge salad with tons Gorgonzola is first on the list. He is also cleared to SWIM!!! We will make this trip a mini vacation. Luca was previously scheduled to go to Pagosa Springs, Colorado, with Sean's parents and one of his cousin's from Dallas...so he will do that while Sean, Dillon, and I will go to Denver. Luca is disappointed not to go on the airplane and stay in a hotel...but he is also very realistic about all the waiting and sitting and boring doctor/hospital stuff that will happen...so he is accepting his choice of hanging out in the mountains with some family.
Dillon is OVER THE MOON happy to be home!!! He got out of the car last night and immediately began playing basketball. He has not touched a basketball in 2 months. Even when we were home before he just would not do it. He said it made him too tired!! He then invited his brother to sleep in his room, they slept soundly all night. I got up this morning to Big D in the kitchen making his brother one of his world famous omelets....then he says...."Luca, would you mind if I play you some viola while you eat?"
MY BOY IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!
We will go back to UNM straight from the airport on Wednesday morning to be re-admitted for the second round of the new chemo. We will be there for several weeks again...so this freedom is OH SO SWEET!!
blessing and enjoy, we love you, call when you can. We miss you. todd and miel
