It was exciting to go to clinic this morning since today is the first visit after day +100 post bmt.  I had so many questions on my mind and Viki had her own too.   Everything went smoothly: no waiting, no arm stick (just finger stick), no crying, no issues.  Her count looks great and Viki looks wonderful.

As I was going through questions, I asked whether if she is cleared to eat out and the answer was still "NO".  As soon as Dr. Ellen said NO, Viki burst into tears because she was so thrilled about eating "chicken wings" today. I felt bad for her since I've been pushing it off until day+100 and giving Viki a hope that she might be okayed to eat chicken wings or a pizza after +100. I was totally wrong about it.  Dr. explained that we don't know how they cook at the restaurants and it's not safe.  She is still at an early stage of bmt and she won't be able to eat out while she is on immuno-suppress medicine. Totally agreed. Instead, the dr. gave an okay to take Viki to the mall or park during the off-peak hours. We decided to treat her to make her feel better. She wanted a pair of new shoes and she got what she wanted. It was so nice going to the mall when everybody is at school. We will probably take her on treat maybe once a week because she deserves so much.

It feels like we are on schedule now;
-Viki gets home-bound schooling twice a week.
-My husband goes to church every Wednesday.
-I go to church on Sundays and joined in bible study on Thursdays.
-Family outing or treating Viki once a week.
I feel settled and truly blessed that we have come this far. Thank you God, you are awesome!!!
