It's Saturday.....and we're still at the hospital

So we were hoping today would be the big day. But unfortunately Clint's neutrophils have a mind of their own and are taking their sweet time coming back. They are still only at 100, but everything else is looking pretty good so they keep telling us any day they could just shoot up. The doctors are hopeful that early next week we will get out of here, so we're keeping our fingers crossed for that!
Clint is feeling great! He is still walking and riding the bike everyday. It's just getting harder and harder to be stuck in here because he feels so good. He thinks the first thing he's going to do when he gets out is go golfing. The doctor said if he feels up to it then to have at it, so you might see him out on the golf course next week :)
Right now he is feeling pretty free, our nurse today unhooked him! He doesn't have any IV meds due until 9 tonight so about 3:00 after his last antibiotic got done Tony (our awesome nurse today) just unhooked the saline too. Clint is loving it! He said he was pretty tempted to just get dressed, put on his hat and see how far he'd get before someone noticed he was gone. I think his favorite part is not having to haul the stupid IV stand into the bathroom every time he needs to go :)

Nik & Nate had their last soccer game today and they did awesome! It was so cold, is it May really? I'm gonna miss going to soccer on Saturday mornings but it is also nice to have one less thing to worry about forgetting (my brain definitely does not work well these days) They had such a great team and coach this year, I'm almost scared to sign them up again because we probably won't get that lucky again. But they love soccer and I can't wait to see them keep improving. I do think Noah will be glad that soccer is over for now. He didn't really love watching the games and he really didn't love that he didn't get a treat after the game :)

So here's to hoping we'll be home soon!

As soon as school is out, I'm expecting some visits from those cute cousins!!

Wish he could have come home, but I'm so glad he's free of the hook ups (somewhat) and feeling well.

Good luck this week. Love ya!
