We finally got to go home last night. Lauren could not wait to get out of there. On the way to the elevator, we hadn't see Lauren walk that fast in a long time. She was 10 yards ahead of us, speed walking. It was the funniest and cutest thing we've seen in a long time. It was so nice to be home and nice to have the whole family sleeping together in our queen-size bed again.

I made the mistake of arriving at the hospital when they were teaching Hilary how to give Lauren shots. Hilary will have to give Lauren a shot in the thigh every day (along with three pills and two liquid form medications). Both Hilary and the nurse wanted her to give me a practice shot (of saline). What could I say? I wanted to show Lauren that it didn't hurt and I didn't want Hilary to give Lauren a shot without at least doing one real shot. But seeing Hilary smiling as she came towards with me with a big needle, to give me a shot in the thigh, and me not being able to show any fear, was pretty terrifying. But I took it like a man...even though my thigh still hurts. Lauren will at least get some numbing cream before her shot.
