Yep. We're still here at the hospital. Lilly is doing much better. No more bleeding from her mouth. Hallelujah! We had the option to go home last night but I just felt like we should stay - just to make sure all is well and that we had no further issues. I'm glad we stayed. She needs another platelet transfusion this morning before we head home. That's 4 platelet, 2 blood, and 2 plasma transfusions in 2 DAYS!! That is so much!
Yesterday was "Harry Potter Day" on the third floor of the hospital. Lilly's ANC (Absolute Nutrofil Count) was high enough that she was able to enjoy a few activities and get out of her room for about an hour.
Even though you can't see her face, you can still tell she was smiling. :) I'm glad she had a happy day after a hard day. She deserved it!!
Lilly was so glad that Emery came to visit her in the hospital yesterday. The night before when we were up all night with a bleeding mouth, Lilly was really missing Em. She said, "Mom, do you know what I wish I had in my suitcase to make me happy??? My BABY SISTER!" I am so grateful for the bond that they share. They love each other so so much! It reminds me of that quote, "If I didn't have you as my sister, I would choose you as my friend." They are best friends!
