Dad in the waiting area with Mom, Mike, Ann, Logan and Abby.
Dad with Mike and his kids, Logan and Abby.Well, it has finally happened, Dad is home! Everyone is so happy that he is home, but no one is as happy as he and Mom are. It was a long 11 days while he was in the hospital. There were lots of ups and downs, but he is now home and there is no looking back. Dad is doing well this morning. I talked to him on the phone and he was able to get a good nights rest last night. This is the first in a very long time. I haven't talked to Mom yet, but I'm sure she rested easier knowing that Dad was home and doing better.
Dad also went to work for an hour today to check in and see how things were going. It's great to see him up and about. Dad is eating better and things seem to be functioning as they are supposed to, but the doctor still wants to see him on Thursday. This is just a check-up, but the doctor is cautious because of the fevers that Dad has been having. Dad is really improving. He is eating more regularly, still not as much as he has eaten in the past, but he's slowly working up an appetite again. He also seemed in good spirits which is also a good sign.
We'll keep you posted on any changes, but for now we are just keeping an eye on him and hoping for no more fevers.
