Yesterday Emily's counts went from 11 to 100. We woke up this morning and miraculously they went from 100 to 1200!
Needless to say we were excited and 5 hours of waiting later, we finally made it home. Turns out that we weren't there for nothing because they did find a strain of strep in her blood that was causing the fever. It's all taken care of and Emily is healthier than when we got there (a nice change to our usual hospital stays).
She still has to take antibiotics through her lines so they are going to send a nurse once a day for the next 6 or so days to the house. We are both happy to be out of the hospital even though the doctors, aids, and nurses were all so fun and amazing.
Jack is doing great and loves to read. I got the official acceptance letter to Westminster as well. Made for a good day.

Hurray! Jack reading that book is AWESOME! Did you pose him like that? I feel like it need a hilarious caption. And based on the beautiful last picture I think Emily is winning the hair-growing race! Go Emily!
