Homeward Bound????

Last Wednesday the doctor brought up the possibility of our going home by the end of the month, a full month sooner than we thought. He was quite positive, test results were good, the central line could be removed, and if all stayed well we could go home, since he would want to see us only every two weeks. Unfortunately layer that evening the Nurse Practitioner called to say they wanted me to take magnesium by IV for two days, then regular hydration by IV for 7 days, so the central line isn't coming out yet. But, both anti-rejection drugs have been reduced, I am feeling better, although I'm still very tired. We see the doctor again tomorrow, and hopefully get the ok for heading home. I can't wait to see the Louisville skyline come into view.

I think I can remember sort of what I typed before Mr. Google decided he'd never heard of me...
anyway, small steps, brother. They get you there. We are faithful and prayerful all will be well and we'll see you soon.

I think even before the skyline, you'll probably get all giddy when you the signs on 65 South start saying "Louisville" instead of "Indianapolis."

Enjoy the summer, Deacon. And rest and relax as much as you can/want. Why not? You've been through a lot.

How wonderful to hear of home. Prayers continue for you. I am sorry you are so tired but so glad to see you posting.

Ask and it shall be given to you. Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks, it shall be opened.
