Tomorrow is our last swim meet of the season - Championships!
Here's Logan's line up for the morning (we write their info on the kid's arm or hand so the swimmers, and parents, can easily keep track!). It'll be his first time competing in Back (up until now he's only swam Free and Breast) but he wanted to give it a try, so who am I to stop him?!?
We're looking forward to a fun day (with an Awards dinner celebration at night - whee!). :)

Kids & Art
We've been done with Callum's lab appointment for about an hour - yet we are still here, hanging out!
He has charmed all the women running the Kids & Art table they set up in the waiting room, making a bunch of little puppet monsters with them. :)

Discharged!
Amazingly, and in record time, we were discharged today! ππΌ
We lucked out with a pretty lenient doctor on rounds this week, who could tell Callum was feeling much better, and who knew I'd keep a close eye on him and bring him back quick if he got any worse. He also really liked the idea that we only live 10 minutes from the hospital - that seemed to be a big factor in him allowing us to go home. π
So, we are now back home and settling in. Yay!! Callum is still neutropenic (his counts actually only increased a smidge today), but I'm looking forward to us all sleeping in our own beds tonight. ✌πΌ️
(The last two pics were taken this morning, as we waited to get discharged. He has been begging the nurses all weekend to bring him some wooden toys to paint - I explained the guys who have all the toys and art don't work on the weekends and would be able to bring him something on Monday morning. So, first thing this morning, he asked to see our Child Life Specialist (Nick), so that he could have a few toys to paint.... It was nice seeing him excited about something other than his iPad for a change!) π

On the mend
Without even looking at the name tag, the nurses know this tray is Callum's. Let's just say this isn't the first one today, and he tends to order multiples of the same thing. πππ
He's feeling TONS better today and his numbers are on the up! Yay!! ππΌππΌππΌ

Up and down
Callum's mood (and well being) has been up and down most of the day. When the Tylenol kicks in, he's in a pretty good mood - eating and drinking and watching movies or playing games. But when the Tylenol starts to wear off and the fever returns, he feels miserable....
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
