Yay! Have a lovely time with Mr Biscuits and The Crumbs!

When do you have to come back, or might you be able to stay there until transplant time?

Legionofboom · 26/08/2014 18:14

Woo hoo! That has made my day Grin Grin Grin

I am SO happy for you biscuits. Have a wonderful time.

Apart from the millions of appointments I get 4 weeks at home. Being admitted for transplant 4 weeks tomorrow! Gotta rest, put on weight and build my strength up in preparation.

I'd say the need to build up strength DEFINITELY rules you out of sewing on a bazillion labels. Grin

Are the family picking you up, or do you get some sort of patient transport? How exciting!

BehindLockNumberNine · 26/08/2014 18:39

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful news!!
Does that mean you are in remission?

Keep building up your strength, 4 weeks until transplant - Waahoo!!!

I'm thrilled to hear that your neutrophils have got their act together so that you can get home for some real recuperation ready for your transplant.

Dearest Biscuits,
It's been a while since a I posted as I was away and then had a dodgy wifi. I have just come back on your thread and read all through it. You have had such an up and down time but you have been consistently, absolutely amazing. I cried when I read about Baby R reaching for you. You absolutely are her most important attachment figure because you are so determined to stay firmly attached to her and the rest of your crumbs even if that means being away from them for a while so you can receive the treatment you need. I am beyond delighted that you have progresses far enough for your transplant. Enjoy the next few weeks at home, eat what you can, rest as much as possible, enjoy doing those every day things that make up family life (yes even sewing on labels) let yourself be cherished as you cherish others and know that we are always here, whatever the time of day or night if you need our support, cheerleading or just a listening ear when things seem darker than now. Take care Biscuits xxxx

This is just the best news ever.

Your home, your children, your dh, your bed, your pillow... I could go on but you get the drift.

Have a beautiful night's rest and enjoy the biscuits joining you in bed tomorrow morning.

FarelyKnuts · 27/08/2014 10:04

Oh Biscuits! I am so utterly delighted to hear you are getting home for a while. That is the most wonderful news ever.
Enjoy every moment you can and rest up ready for the next bit, in my thoughts as always, you and the crumbs :)

magimedi · 27/08/2014 13:43

Biscuits, that is just wonderful news.

Make sure you do rest & put on weight.

So thrilled for you.

mumster79 · 27/08/2014 14:13

Hooray Biscuits!

That's fantastic. Enjoy!

Legionofboom · 27/08/2014 14:40

I hope you are having the most wonderful first day of many at home with your family after a lovely restful sleep in your own bed Biscuits.

Chocolate brownies are very good for putting on weight I find Grin Enjoy.

LinesThatICouldntChange · 27/08/2014 18:58

Brilliant brilliant news! Enjoy every minute at home. Sounds like our procedures could coincide now, and I'll be donating when you're receiving your transplant. Smile

Kundry · 27/08/2014 20:29

Woohoo! Go home and eat like you've never eaten before!

StillProcrastinating · 27/08/2014 21:30
