Dad is home

Sorry I haven't been on the past few days but it has been a little busy. Thursday all the I-V's were removed from Dad. He is getting oral antibiotics and magnesium now. The decision was made to bring him home, so Friday night Gregg and Mom brought him home. Home-health followed with a hospital bed which they set up in the living room. Dad can see outside and watch the birds as well as watch TV. He has a brand new wheelchair and a commode. Dad is very weak, he has no strength. He can not stand by himself yet. A nurse and an aide are going to come into the house starting Saturday. He will get physical therapy too. With all the help coming in it should be easier on Mom. She is exhausted and not having to drive everyday to spend the day in a hospital should give her some relief. Gregg and John are going to tackle building a ramp out of the front door so when Dad gets stonger and begins his chemo we will be able to get him out and back in the house. Hopefully he can start putting on some weight and get some strength back. This is all a new experience for all of us. We appreciate all the prayers, cards, and little things our wonderful friends are doing for our family. Blessings, Michelle
