Last Day!

Ever hear the saying, "You know you're done when things come around full circle."? Last night was a perfect example of that old addage. Remember my first post talked about gun fire and the cartel attacking less than a mile from the clinic? Things have been relatively calm and quiet since the second week but last night, tempers flared once again. John and I fell asleep to the sounds of gunfire. In talking with the neighbors, we think it was happening about a half mile from here. Cheese. and. Rice. Someone was using a bigger gun than the others. It started up unexpectedly, then abruptly stopped. As awful as it sounds, I hope they shot each other dead. The world needs less of that kind of crap happening.
Full circle brings me to John's last treatment. All went well, IV is gone (whew!) and he's D.O.N.E.!!!!! I could almost cry (but I won't). We met with the doctor, as well. He gave us a letter for school so they can help us work to get John better and he reviewed his last blood work taken yesterday. All his levels have improved. The only concerning numbers was his CBC (complete blood count). Some of his blood readings were a little low - indicates a virus. This makes sense as he was exposed this weekend with his cousin, Rachel, being a little down with a cold. John probably got some of the virus but his body is working hard to fight it. And work, it can. With all the amino acids, vitamins and minerals he's been infused with these last 3 weeks, he's in prime condition. It's all good! The doctor is very confident John will make a complete recovery and not even need supplements anymore. Hallelujah! He's thinking we should start seeing recovery in 3 or 4 weeks, but it can take up to 6 months. We made return plans for June 15-30 for his booster.

Ahhhhh....so good to be done! Gotta go get packing (our suitcases, not heat - although that's not such a bad idea around here). Signing out for now. Will post a few times as John progesses through his live cell adjustment.

Adios mis amigos!!!!
