Day 21: I'm Outta Here (tomorrow)

The doctors just came in and told me if I take all of my medicines by mouth today, I can be released tomorrow. I have to be careful of the sun, even when it is cloudy. I will need to wear lots and lots of sunscreen and a hat. All the hats that people have sent me will come in handy. I have to avoid crowds and for now I still can not have visitors. But I can take walks in the park in the early morning or late afternoon.

I am so excited!

YAY! We are so happy to hear this great news! I had such a good time hanging out with your little brothers at Brayden's birthday party. They enjoyed playing with Shayla. I am sure that you can't wait until they get to come to the apartment for a visit!

AJ,

AWESOME! I can't wait to tell Anna. She will be so thrilled and I know she will want to blog as soon as she gets home from dance (sometime around 6:15).

Thanks for playing Skype Checkers with her yesterday. She had so much fun getting to spend time with you.

Love, Ms. Jackie

AJ,
Yes!!!!! This news has made my day!! I am so happy for you, your mom, and dad. I know the nurses will really miss you, though. But, I also know it makes them very happy to see boys and girls well enough to go home. I will now msil those books to your apartment. I think you need to have a celebration in honor of your last night in the hospital.
Lots of love,
Mrs. Parker

AJ,
Lindsay told me the good news when she came to school with Jack and your grandmother today. What great news! I know your mom and dad are sooooooo happy. Take good care of yourself and your parents and enjoy your new freedom. I continue to pray for you each day. P.S. Tell your mom and dad that Jack was a real big boy at school today. I looked in on him several times and he was doing great.
