Lauren's ANC (blood count) went down from 300 to 250. But…they are releasing her today!! They said she can go because it's an up trend. How that is an up trend, I don't know, or get. We'll have to take her back on Monday for blood tests. While it makes me nervous to bring her home with such a low ANC count, it will be nice to have the family at home together. Her two past head surgeries (one to place the shunt and the other being a biopsy) combined didn't keep her in the hospital this long. It will be funny to see her speed walking thru the lobby to get out of there.

A lot of nurses in the day hospital are wearing Lauren's pink bracelets, which is really cool to see. It was so fun to watch Lauren passing them out. She was so excited and took her job of passing them out very seriously. The ones that didn't get one would come up and say, "Hey! I want a bracelet!" It's cool to see all the nurses walking around with pink bracelets.
