We thought we'd never get out of there! We had a swallow study and a therapy consult we were able to nix, but still had a back xray this morning that had to be done. That was a trick - getting him in the chair, then out of the chair, then holding him like an octopus on a little swivel chair to get x-rays of his back. All that went fairly well, put him back in bed, and sat and waited in the room for 3 hours waiting for the discharge papers. The greatest feeling in the world - loading him in the van and heading home!
He is still very medicated, feeling yucky, but starting to eat just a little. He had barely anything to eat in the hospital so we appreciated coming home to dinner provided by some wonderful folks - and that seemed to do the trick. He ate a little bit, but enough to start helping him get his strength back.
So he is settled in his own bed, with balloons, cards and well wishes from all of you - a wonderful place to recuperate. Thank you all very much!
