Recap on clinic visit

• WBC: 3.46
• HGB: 9.7
• Platelet: 193
• No medication changes, continue all current supportive care

Clinic visit on Thursday went very well. Her counts looked good, no issues. We were cleared to go home. We were busy with packing and were more than ready to go home.  We are so thankful that she didn't get any significant side-effects and is able to go home sooner than we have imagined! It is a true miracle!

Lo and behold, on our last night at Ronald McDonald house, she ran a FEVER!  Frankly, Victoria's conditions have been "too good to be true" in a sense and I wasn't surprised by it in a way. I kind of expected something like this because she's been feeling warm and sleeping way too much for past 10 days. Having been a caregiver for over 1.5 years for Victoria, I'm more intuiative when it comes to her symptoms. I'm glad this didn't happen after we went home.

Calling 911 for an ambulance and being alone just two of us at 3:30AM was little scary but, I'm a mom and there is nothing I can't do for my daughter. haha

Drew blood for culture and waiting for her counts in triage room at ER

I was worried that her counts might have dropped significantly but, to my surprise, her counts were stable (WBC: 3.81 / HGB: 9.2 / Platelet: 199).

However, since she was a recepient of an un-related donor and is still at an early stage of her post transplant, her doctors put an order to place Victoria on inpatient for precautionary reasons.  I didn't mind at all.  Staying couple of more nights was not a big deal.  Better to be safe than sorry for sure.

They assigned us at the same room where Victoria had her transplant, which brought back all the memories. I got emotional for a moment. We won't ever forget this room # 3208.

As soon as we walked in to BMT suite, Viki made herself at home and started riding the tricycle, saying hello to everyone and went to the play room to play with toys.  Again, she inspired me by showing her maturity and calm composure to a bad situation. My girl is a real champion. I am so proud!

We might be going home on Sunday or Monday at the latest doc. said.  I'm okay either way as long as my little one is having fun.

집으로 가기 바로 전날에 제대로 신고식을 하는 우리딸 승리, 그래도 병원에서 가까이 있을때 열이 오른게 얼마나 다행인지, 이참에 항생제 맞고 열 말끔히 떨어져서 마음 편하게 집에 가는게 차라리 잘 된것인지도.. 우리 승리 덕분에 한밤중에 앰불런스도 불러보고, 정말 미국에 시집와서 안해보는게 없다. ㅎㅎㅎ 
병실에 다시 왔을때 마치 친정에 온 것처럼 신나하는 승리를 보면서 정말 우리딸은 참 강한 아이라는걸 다시 한번 느꼈다. 승리 본인도 얼마나 집에 가고 싶었을까? 하지만 이 상황을 불평하지 않고 긍정적으로 받아들이는 우리딸이 참 고맙고 자랑스럽다.
