THE BEST WEDNESDAY EVER!

Guess what?
Drum roll please.......................................

Gary is coming home today! Home Health Care delivered his temporary hospital bed and wheel chair last night and my Mom bought sheets and Bonnie and Wendy bought all the supplies we will need and we are ready to rock!

I imagine he will be home around 3 PM and I have to get to the pharmacy to get all of his prescriptions. I can't believe he is coming home!

You can't imagine how thankful we are to the staff at Hoag - all the nurses and assistants and doctors and interventional radiology. They were so wonderful to our family and we are grateful! Gary has come a VERY FAR WAY in 6 weeks. He is such a fighter and will actually walk by himself into the house today! To think that 6 weeks ago we were possibly facing the hospice option! NO WAY! God had other plans!

I have to go to Target and Walmart to get last minute things for Gary and then I will head up to get him situated and ready to get home!

I will blog more later. It is hard in the morning hours when I am getting the kids ready for school. Pray for a smooth transition for all of us as Gary comes back to be with his family!

Love to all,
L

Wow! PRAISE GOD! I know you and your boys have waited for this moment for a long time...I'm sure Gary has. While it's a day of getting things settled, enjoy the day! What a blessing!

CONGRATULATIONS! That is such a wonderful blessing and the power of prayer and of the Lord is truly amazing. My heart might have skipped a beat when I read this entry. You and your family are so inspiring and I'm so glad to see the love and strength you and your family have from each other and your supporters. I am so truly happy for your entire family!
