A better day

Today was a better day. Harper's leg pain mostly resolved. She still slept a lot, but she was a lot more comfortable.

The doctors are talking about Harper being ready to go home as soon as she can get off the IV fluids. I spent most of the day at home cleaning the house, with Melissa's parents and my brother prepping for Harper to come home.

Suffice it to say, we're more than a little excited. It will be so nice to get her home. And I am selfishly looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.

Before all this, all the girls shared a room, with Harper and Finley sharing a bed. But, considering that Harper is going to be more susceptible to things as the chemo progresses, we decided that Harper should have her own room. We set it up this afternoon. Complete with horse pictures.

I am more than a little worried, though, about her current lack of strength, and the fact that her bedroom is on the second floor. I can foresee the stairs being a huge challenge.

We also made a tough decision and sent our cat, Lacey, to stay with my mother for awhile. She jumps on the table, and walks on the counters. We don't want her to pass anything along, so to keep the house cleaner, we decided to send Lacey on vacation.

Harper's not going to like it though, because she loves Lacey. Not going to tell her until she asks, and then there'll likely be a breakdown.

Tomorrow, if all goes well, will be an even better day.
