Quick Update

Ian was released to come home Tuesday evening to finish the chemo treatment outpatient. We are so thankful for this time together and for him to be able to eat home food and take walks without being chained to an IV pole. He stays in much better shape at home than in the hospital, especially since he has to climb three flights of stairs to go anywhere. We seem to be finding yet another "new normal" by God's grace. 

There's a new wrench in the machinery tonight, however. The girls are spending the night at my mom's place, and she called earlier to let me know Fiona was vomiting repeatedly and screaming for me. My heart sank. The girls will stay an extra night with Nana to see what's going on before they come home. I'm glad my mom decided not to move in with us - it's helpful to have another location for the kids in situations like this.  Hopefully it's just a random food poisoning thing that doesn't continue or spread. 

Tomorrow (Monday) is the last DLI, the final chance for his brother's immune system to recognize and fight the leukemia. I'm bracing myself for the house to smell strongly of canned corn again for a few days. There's little chance of it working, but it sure would be nice if it did : )
