We're Outta Here!!!!!

Last night when my parents picked us up from the airport, I told them I would be praying for some good news today. Well we got it. Pat is going to come home tomorrow for hopefully a couple of weeks and continue his chemo treatment as an outpatient. He is so happy. We still will need to return every other day for blood and platelets...but who cares? Pat will get to sleep at home, eat at home, watch TV at home, hang with his kids and see his four legged kids. With his immune system still so vulnerable we have to ask that he have no visitors yet and no food brought over. His diet will be very limited and the manner his food is prepared is very strict. You know I'd love to have you all cook, but it's just not safe at this time. Chloe and I had such a great weekend, unfortunately LMU didn't fare so well, but it was still great to see Brock. I used to think Chloe was just being a great sport accompanying me on these trips until duh....I caught on, what 17 year-old girl wouldn't want to spend the weekend with 17 hot looking soccer players? To everyone who took time out of their busy lives this weekend to spend time with Pat, a huge THANK YOU!!! Pat said more than once that all his visitors helped make the weekend go by much quicker. It made it so much easier for me also, knowing he was well taken care of. Thanks to Brady for holding down the fort at home and hanging out with Pat. Today I ask for your prayers that Pat's transition to home goes smoothly, that his bone pain subsides, and last but not least REMISSION!!!!! Your prayers along with his never ending strength and will to survive have gotten us this far, we couldn't have done it without each and every one of you. The response to our call for platelet donors continues to amaze us, Pat is very touched by the outpouring of support. Tomorrow night I'll sleep a little more soundly knowing Pat is right where he should be...at home.
Love and appreciation to all those who love and protect our family.

Jules
