Day 14

We got Jim home yesterday around 5:30. It was amazing. He walked outside and looked up in the sky as if he had never seen it before. He was overcome with emotion. When we got him home we sat down and had dinner as a family. It didn't seem real but in the same breath it felt like he had never left home.

Now, Jim is just concentrating on getting stronger. He is a little discouraged about how weak he still is. Getting up and down the stairs about does him in. I think that he thought that when he left the hospital he would be better. That is going to take months, but at least he is home with his family and we are here to take care of him.

The kids are being great. Nathan is being diligent about reminding everyone to wash their hands. If you use the bathroom, he will ask you if you washed. He wants to make sure that his dad stays home. I think this whole experience has had a far more profound impact on the family then they let on.

Well, today is a good day. We are all together. What can be better than that?

Day 12

Good morning. Today is day 12 and Jim gets to go home tomorrow, Day 13 if all continues to go well. It is going to be a very slow day for Jim. He is ready to come be with his family. His bones are still working and counts continue to go up, so we are grateful.

Well, no other news. Today we are just getting ready for him to come home.
