Back Home at Last

Great news! My Dad came home on Friday after 2 months in the hospital. Needless to say, he is so happy to be home. There will be a caregiver staying at my parent's home every night to help out, and there will be rehabilitation specialists making house calls throughout the week for therapy. My Dad still has a little ways to go before he can be physically independent. With minor assistance, he can walk with a walker, and feed himself.

And I am so happy that my Mom won't have to spend her days at the hospital, but rather at home with the man she loves. We've seen enough of hospitals for a long while.

Kayla and Matthew got to see Grandpa for the first time in months this weekend, and it made their day. They have really missed him, and have been so concerned about him.

Great news Melissa! I can't imagine how long the last 2 months have been for your mom & for you & your family. Obviously a miracle has come to your family considering the prognosis you all were facing in those first few days & weeks of July. And, although there is nothing "easy" about rehabilitation, we are really happy for your family!
