Home

Sometimes the path to getting better is full of steps and icy spots…the important thing is to keep on keeping on. 

Far Guy was released from the hospital yesterday.  His Doctor ordered all the IV antibiotics and steroids that he could.  Now it just takes time.  Far Guy could have stayed in the hospital for a few more days but he chose to come home to me and Chance.   He has the option of going back if he is not doing well.

Boy was Chance happy to see him!  Far Guy napped, I made chicken and dumplings for supper…chicken is medicinal isn’t it?

We plan to just stay home and rest this week.  So far so good.  It is much easier for me to care for him at home rather than running back and forth to the hospital.

We are thankful that he was able to return home.

Thank you for all your prayers and good thoughts!

Home is where we feel the best! Hope that Far Guy keeps feeling better and that you don't come down with something. Chance is a great nurse! Take good care of yourselves now!

Glad to hear he is home but take care of yourself as well.

Yes, sometimes it easy to care for people at home and the patient does better at home. You don't need to be running back and forth to the hospital as you are just recovering yourself. Both of you get better real soon. You are both in my prayers.

I'm glad Far Guy was able to come home. I always think it's easier to fully recover once you get to be back in your own home. I hope he's soon back to his old self again, and no return trips to the hospital are required.

Good news! Being home will lift his spirits and help him recover.

This news has made my day and maybe my whole week. I am glad all the bases are covered and Far Guy can get some rest. You need to get the same kind of rest and keep everything as low keyed as possible. Chicken anything will be helpful. I bet a good homemade meatloaf build him up too. You two take care.

So happy to hear he is able to be home again! With the homemade goodies, he's sure to be back to his usual self soon.

That is super news - sending prayers for getting well (spring is coming!) Rest, rest, rest. Hey, give me a call or send a message if you need anything.

What wonderful news! It's also great that he can go back if need be. He will recover much better at home surrounded by those he loves and that love him. Plus, you won't get worn out running back and forth plus wondering when you are at home, how he is doing. I will continue to pray for you all. Hugs~Sam

I hadn't been in here for several days to see that Far Guy had even gotten sick, let alone visited the ICU. :^( I'm glad to read he's home and recovering!

Home's best when we have some body to look after us.

Pauline Persing said...

I agree. Home is best. Hope all goes well.

Terry and Linda said...

I so agree...home is where health can really begin!

Glad you all are on the road to recovery. Nice to be home and in one's own bed.

Rita said...

Recovery is always better at home--yes! You can never really rest well or long in the hospital. SOOO glad to hear FarGuy is home under the watchful eyes of you and Chance. Made my day! :)

There is no place like home but sometimes home is loud and crazy

DJan said...

I'm so glad he's home and hope he gets to stay there. I can let up a little on the old worry machine and kneel down and give thanks instead. :-)

The Great Ethan Allen said...

Woot! Glad he got home safely. Nothing helps heal the soul better than Chicken and dumplings. Or maybe Chicken soup.

diane in northern wis said...

So glad to hear that Far Guy is at home. Will keep up the prayers for him!

Jacqi Stevens said...

There is something so comforting about just being home in your own bed. Not to mention the touch of homemade chicken soup (or dumplings). Wishing both of you an uneventful recovery!

Linda Reeder said...

I know he will get good care from you and Chance.

Lady Fi said...

Oh gosh - what a scare! So glad he is home now! Hugs.

Wishing you and your man a speedy get well. We just finished a three day yearly check up at the Alzheimers dementia Mayo research center. Unfortunately the results were much worse as I expected and know were on to psychiatry and help from social services. We stick with out motto though" we're and team and we keep on truckin" . I know you understand that concept and it's what we do....:)
