Journal entry by Mitch Vandiver

Day + 12 and Keirney is finally home! 

Keirney arrived home around noon today and brought with her a lot of sunshine. She was greeted by Mason (our oldest) and a very happy doggie who did about 25 360’s and jumps in every direction possible. 

The next stage includes multiple trips back to the hospital (3 days a week for now) for labs and likely additional infusions of platelets. Unfortunately, her port is still in as a result. We expect the next couple of weeks to be filled with a lot of sleep; however, she is able to get outside a bit and is encouraged to get some activity. The next milestone is Day 100 which will include some fireworks since it is so close to July 4th - 100 days is July 7th

The team at UMMS were incredible and we could not have asked for better care and bedside manner. Truly heroes! 

As always, we appreciate all of the support and well wishes!
