Day 22: Today is home day!!!!!! Kelly made a good turn around yesterday afternoon and she slept most of the night (which is a first since mid-January). Her pain is now much more under control and this afternoon she was discharged. Kelly received excellent care while at Sarah Cannon Cancer Center, thank you to all the doctors, nurses and staff who took care of her during her stay. 

She did well on the ride home, but is still extremely weak and her immune system is very low. With the flu and various other sicknesses going around 😷 we are asking for no visitors for the time being so she can continue to recover and regain her strength. We remain overwhelmingly grateful for the outpouring of love and prayers going up for her continued battle. 

"And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."  - Romans 5:2-5
