Home again

Isabelle did ok at the hospital today. She at lunch and was alert. Her blood level was good, but her platelets are low. They changed our Friday appointment to a morning one because she will probably need a platelet transfusion before the chemo. They said we could go home around 3pm, so we did. After we were home for about 20 minutes Isabelle perked up. She wanted to go outside on the swing, so we did for a little while. Sabrina was so happy we were all home. Isabelle ate dinner too. She was still pretty weak, but was actually able to walk around a little bit. Gave both girls a shower and had to be very careful not to get Isabelles port site wet. Her hair is getting really thin now and shes losing quite a bit of it. Earlier I told her we were going to cut her hair a little bit and she got upset saying that she wants long hair like mommy. So, I'm going to cut my hair. I'm not looking forward to it and haven't had short hair since I was like 15, but I think it will make Isabelle feel better. I'm going to donate my hair to locks of love, so its not wasted. It feels, so good to be home. Hopefully we can make it until Friday without another visit.
