Update #48. Day +26. Lauren's first day leave from hospital

Today saw Lauren leave the hospital for the first time after 36 consecutive days . Was great to have her out and have the family together for a short time after Kate & Nathan came home from school. Last night they opened up a room so the family could be together for the first time in over a month and today saw this go to a new level where she got to leave the ward during the day and see some of the local beach areas (whilst avoiding people), as she is still at risk of infection, particularly up to Day +100. Her blood counts continue to go well and no fevers for a number of days now.

Bought some alcohol wipes today to maintain cleanliness - only issue is they only come as a carton so we now have 1,125 wipes, which should see us wiped clean for a long time yet!!!!
