Home again at last

We’re so thankful to be home again at last after a blur of a week and glad to ring in the New Year in the comfort of home. We needed an extra day or so for the neuro team to be confident that Susan’s meds were properly arranged. Once she was off Ativan and seizure free for a full day and then some, she was discharged Sunday afternoon.

We’ve shifted to home care, her first shower in over a week, and sleeping through the night without full-voiced staff coming in to take Susan’s BP or check her blood sugar. She’s already gained strength amazingly for having been bed bound, but is still a fall risk. She’s chipper, chatty, and the right amount of sassy. I’ll keep a close eye on her through tomorrow and make sure she has stand-by assistance and alert eyes for seizures.

Susan and I would like to thank everyone who has lifted us in prayer and provided support for us not only through this episode, but for the past 5 ½ years. Our gracious Lord keeps providing for us in every way, sustaining us with hope and peace for this life and the next. We continue to pray for Susan’s recovery at home and for a favorable brain tumor update in three weeks.
