Chelsea came home from the hospital last Friday(5/8). To be together as a family, if even just for a brief period, was so much fun. It felt like she never left as she quickly got into the same routine as she was in prior to heading to the hospital, playing with the same toys and doing the same things. The weather is nice and we took advantage whenever possible. Chelsea loves being outside. No crazy trips. Just the playing in the yard or going to the park. It was a great week.
She starts Phase 2 of her treatment tomorrow(5/15). Prior to leaving the hospital last Friday, we found out that she is classified as an intermediate-risk patient, which is where 90% of AML patients are classified. Her brother is be tested to see if he is a genetic match for a bone marrow transplant. If he is a match, Chelsea will be receiving a bone marrow transplant. If he is not, a determination on whether she will receive a transplant will be made later on in her treatment.
Another 25-40 days to in the hospital. Looking forward to the next week she is home already :)
