We are Home!!!!!

We waited this time to be sure we were out the door and home before posting the good news. Greta was cleared to go home around 11:00 am today and we were walking in the door at about 12:30 pm. When we arrived her Welcome Home sign from her first return home visit in May was out front along with a bunch of red heart balloons courtesy of Aunt Kari. Gavin was anxiously awaiting his baby sister's return as well.

Once she got inside Greta and Gavin got right to playing and soon all the toys were back out. She also enjoyed running around on the new floors. It sure is nice to have everyone home again. And what a nice day to be home. We certainly are happy to see the blue sky and sunshine again.

We return tomorrow to clinic visits. She'll be closely monitored the next few weeks to make sure she's getting enough nutrition and hydration while we're home. She'll also be getting more platelet transfusions until her platelets engraft. Those take a little longer than the white blood cells. In about three weeks when we shouldn't need as many transfusions, she'll be getting her Broviac removed. We are excited for that change.

We're almost at day 20 of the first 100. We hope the next 80 go smoothly! Hopefully the next few weeks, months and years there will be little to update on!

Thank you all again for your love and support. We cannot tell you how blessed we feel. This is a real eye opening experience and honestly it's one I'm glad we were able to have. We will forever be changed by it.
With love,
The Betz Family
