We’re all at home together. We got discharged Thursday night and we expect to be home for about a week, if not a bit longer. Feels like the lull before the storm, I suppose because it is.

When we go back, we will start the final stages of treatment: possible radiation and then finally the stem cell transplant. It’s been a long time coming and we’ve got a lot of recovery still to go, but it’s good to be nearing transplant time.

Until then, we’re going to be spending lots of quality time together at home. Some sunny days this week will mean trips to the playground and wagon rides through the neighborhood. B and I are each only working one day this week and taking the rest off to spend time together.

Oh, and possibly most shocking of all, we got home this time and Derrick just… slept in his crib. Just fine. All night long. He’s slept in his crib without much of a fight three nights in a row and I cannot overstate how incredible it feels to be able to sit together with my husband, without any kids, and just talk and spend time together. It’s been four months since we’ve had that.

my hearing has definitely gotten worse after chronic ear infections + eustacian tube dysfunction and I hate it
