It's a Double!

It is official! Gary had an entire double cheeseburger today and it only took him 20 minutes to wolf it down! He opted to skip dinner because the burger was more than enough for his stomach - which is probably the size of an acorn at this point!
Gary got his IVs out today and we also removed his super sexy white thigh high compression hose! I know he was sad to see those babies go!

The boys got to spend a couple hours with Daddy today and we walked several laps around 5T for the first time without an IV cart! He did a great job walking around on his own. His sciatic nerve is still bothering him but that's an easy fix! Gary has to use a walker at home for the first couple of weeks. I thought I would go buy him one of those baskets we used to put on our banana seat bikes and fasten it to the front of his walker! This way he can carry drinks, food, remotes, his phone, etc. in his little basket. Maybe I will get him one of the little bells that I used to have on my bike as well!

Hopefully Gary will get to come home Tuesday. We miss him soooooooo much!! I hate sleeping alone. I haven't minded not waking up to seriously loud snoring but even a small part of me misses that too! We are waiting for pathology results and for the doctors to give him the test to make sure his new bladder is working completely.

I can't believe summer is ending and school is beginning. I know this is going to be a great year for all of us!

I will let you know what we hear from the morning rounds (1st shift MD's)! We are off to T-street in the morning for a few hours of body boarding!

Have a great night and remember to thank God even for the smallest things in life! Acknowledge Him in everything you do and for everything you have!

Love,
