A day at home. Night 37 inpatient.

He has been home today for his 8 hour pass. We always stretch it into about 10 or more hours!

There were visitors.

There were cookies.

There was pizza.

There were snuggles and naps.

There was a peacefulness to just being home.

He managed to get around and transfer from chair to couch well today. He has managed his way around the kitchen for food and made himself comfortable in the living room. He has a new wheelchair coming this week and he is going to practice on rehab with it so he is able to use it well once home. We are learning a few things we need (like straws, he still can not drink from a cup, and furniture we need to move) to make home life comfortable and accommodating for daily living activities.

It is exciting to think that the next time we make this trip it is for good. No more returns to overnight stays at the hospital. He is hoping that happens possibly Friday.

love to all,
denah
