The children head off to the first day of school today. Our tradition is new shoes, pancakes and photos on the stairs. This is a special first day of school as this is the last year they will be in the same school until high school. This is also special because I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to be there for it. The timing was so close to hospitalization. Ugh. Every time I type hospital the word hospice is right there – gives me such anxiety.
The kids were happy to see their friends and go back to school. Now they will need to shower and mask before they come near me as they are exposed to a very large circle of people. Dr P said I’m still dropping in stats and won’t bottom out for another week. We got to ride to school together as a family today. That was nice. I’m not thrilled with S’s classroom assignment because she has no friends in that class. I really want her to change but she is insisting that she stay – I can only do so much. She is stubborn but so I let her make the decision or do I make it for her. I’ll give it until Monday and then ask her over the weekend. But it bothers me a lot. Tomorrow is transfusion day. I’m confident my platelets are low and will be needing a unit as well as maybe blood. We will see I guess. I like uneventful days.
