Emily cleared at hour 116

This was the marathon of chemo visits. Emily was in almost as long as when she was first diagnosed. My new mantra for the day was, "whatever it takes" and that seems like a good theme for Phase 3 of chemo. This morning at 6 am Emily's level was .15 so we weren't sure if she was going to have to stay in another night. The Dr. ordered the blood draw tonight at 7pm. They wanted to go as late as they could, but if she passed enough time for us to get home at a decent hour. They took her blood at about 6:50pm. Emily and I played some cards, went on a walk, played some video games, and surfed pollypocket.com to fill the two hours it takes to get the results back. Right around 9pm we got the good news, her level was .08, and we could go home. Emily's port was de-accessed and we went home. Just like last stay she ran out of the hospital as fast as she could. On her way out all the nurses and aides wanted to say good bye to Emily.

We are all happy to be at home together again, we haven't been since last Wednesday morning. She has to do this all over again a week from Wednesday.
