Day 15 - Going Home!

Yes, we are planning to be discharged sometime today (Friday) with the understanding that Madeleine will have to be re-admitted the night before her next procedure, which the doctors are coordinating for Tuesday or Wednesday next week. A few nights at home all of us together should be rejuvenating for us all. 
We have learned a little bit more; her tumor is "extremely rare" which is why the pathology and treatment plan is taking so long. It could be our 'Hope' for a germ cell tumor is not reality. We don't have any indication yet on the success rate of treatment. Not an easy thing to deal with as her parents. But, we persevere... 


So going home! What a blessing. Last week I had to clean out our refrigerator, we had food freeze & spoil. Considering we'll only be home for about 2 1/2 days, if anyone wants to help with foods easily frozen or with cooking we would really appreciate that. Sometime next week we can begin planning "our new normal" life to begin between home & the hospital, I would just hate to throw away more food. Thank you everyone who has reached out to us, prayed for us, visited us or brought gifts for our little girls. The love and support is overwhelming & humbling to us both. Thank you!
