Archie got home from the hospital Saturday morning. He’s happy to be home again, happy
to be able to play with his toys and explore his house as he pleases. Archie had a
clinic appointment Monday morning. Dr. Stroud said that Archie looks “super,” and
marveled aloud at Archie’s energy level. Archie will visit the clinic again on Friday
and Dr. Stroud suspects Archie will need a platelet transfusion then. The doctor also
said that we can expect Archie’s fourth course (and hopefully final course) of chemotherapy
to begin in three to four weeks time.
The twins had their first bath Tuesday night. Both babies are doing very well, both alert
and thriving. They’re good babies, too, just like their brother. John and I are sure that our
three babies aren’t really flesh of our flesh, but rather manifestations of every kind gesture,
hope and dream we’ve ever had.
