Going Home Eve. Day 21...................Night 30

Well.......


 I don't want to jinx anything.  And so, I'll just leave this excitement in the eyes of these two faces.


One, of my newly hatched stem cells birdie.  Second......The best nurse in all the land.
You know, there's something called The Daisy Award.  An award for excellence in work well done in the field of nursing.  Or service.  Of life.  Honoring ones hard earned love.  Not just work. Not just a place that she drives to and from to save lives. From a place not close to the hospital.  Not just the place that she kneels down to get eye to eye with patients, because they feel like giving up.  Not just the place that you spend hours and hours with sick people. Not just a "nurse" that shares a smile with his Mom, and sometimes a firm hug. Asking questions about us.  Our lives.  His sister.  
She's a force to be reckoned with families facing a crisis. Sharing with us a thing or two about nurturing.  
She's given me hope. Especially about the challenges I face with the language barrier I experience.  She's exceptional you guys.  She is one of a kind.  Maybe that's why she's there. Maybe that's why we were meant to cross paths with her. 

This nurse.  

And if the morning couldn't get more sweeter.  He sends me this.  Sara re-writing yesterdays counts.  Those white cells that dropped a little over the weekend, and crept back up.  For life.  Those newbies, just growing and thriving.  And Sara there to witness the beginning of so many changes. The guy she pushed to keep pushing. 

Sara.  You better believe our, mine, his relay recognition will be hollered from the rooftop in the next flipped pages.  

It's almost like the excitement kids get right before Santa comes to town. 
Except right now we are excited to have our birdie back in his home nest.  Well, except for me, 
IM FREAKINGOUT *shocker*
Warmth, love and safety.
But first.....first, we pick up 19 different prescriptions.  And we prep as much as one can to have a delicate body rebuild.




Miracle.  Science.  Soul.

Almost 5 weeks.  

Kris, you are gaining. Little by little. 

Let's do this....

And Jen....if you ever read this.  You, my dear.  YOU....are one rockstar girlfriend.You...are exceptional and deserve the Rose award.  One step up from Daisy...

Little request and reminder....as he continues to heal, and rebuild, I ask that you please refrain from visits if you might be sick, have been around someone sick, or are just dirty. jk.  My deadbolt is pretty gnarly--

BIG LOVE and so much peace to you.

Clink glasses together with all you prayer warriors....*CLINK*

As our glasses swish back and forth and we all smile at eachother.....

This Warrior Mama Lisa
