Home Sweet Home!!!

I'm writing this post to you from the comfort of my own home!!
That's right! at 18 days they let me out for good behavior!

It feels so good to here. My couch, my bed... my everything!

So what lies ahead?

I'll be returning to Sloan twice a week for checkups and such and trying to get back my energy. (This includes my appetite.) I also have a huge buttload of coursework I have to get done, after all I still plan to graduate!

My immune system is still weak, so now I'm only in a semi-quartine state. I can go for walks outside, but crowded public places are off limits. People can come visit, but only a few at a time and they gotta be super healthy. Things will remain this way for a while, at least until June when they recheck my immune system. Unfortunately, after puberty the immune system isn't able to reconstitute itself as quickly. These restrictions may very well last in september, perhaps later! But as my numbers improve (they check every 2 months) they'll lift restrictions.

Other then that I just want to thank everyone again for all their thoughts, prayers, support, and encourgament through this whole time. It's been such a blessing!!!

Till next time!

Yes, get that work done, you can't keep the title of "best student ever" if you don't get that done; but you will always be the best person.
We all miss you and are encouraged by your continued progress.
