On December 3rd the doctors were finally completely happy with Jeremy so we were discharged home. It was such a lovely feeling after four long months of being in the hospital (with the exception of the 9 days home in October) to finally go home! And what better time to go then at Christmas time? To top it off, Brent was still off work because we still didn't know what was going to be the outcome with Jeremy, so we also had some time to just be a family all together again!!
All ready to go home!
The month of December was filled with goodness and happiness. We did a lot of fun family things and we also got an MRI done on the 6th which told us that everything looked great!! The new plan was to alternate between a round of ICE and a round of VAC. This meant that we would be alternating between an aggressive chemo and a "reduced" chemo and that the reduced chemo would give us more time to be home. So providing that Jeremy's counts were okay, he would start VAC the following Friday and would get it for the next three Fridays as an outpatient. And then three weeks after that he would get a round of ICE and it would carry on in this fashion. We had plenty to celebrate and be thankful for!! This was the best Christmas present ever!
