Lots of wrap up at the hospital and final "tests" to make sure all was in working order. Misbach seemed more relaxed with us than ever, probably because Wayne was a "finished product" now and no longer at risk of anything. No pneumonia or infection. Heart beating like a baby, peeing and pooping in good order so we got shipped off late afternoon. Dressed Wayne, drove him home (took a route with too many bumps) and got him in the house and up the stairs and we just threw him in a chair and food was presented to him immediately. I got to experience the pure joy of having someone at the house who finished some chores and made dinner for us. Wow, it's awesome.
So now it's rest, go easy, hug the chest pillows and grounded for 7 days. Lots of mail to read, movies to watch and friends to visit to help out while I work or otherwise. Thanks again for the support and anyone who wants to come over, just call and let us know. But we don't get mad if you don't call. :-) I will be back at work full time next week but work mostly from home so that will be good.
We have been truly blessed through this experience and I have great faith Wayne will be very healthy and back to his old self soon. Thank you again for the support in all its forms, the contacts, cards, etc. I can't name it all. Stay in touch and if anything worth reporting happens I will certainly do so.
Love, Marian

Very glad to hear Wayne is home. He must be feel a sense of accomplishment, knowing he's done all the things he needed to do in order to be kicked out of the hospital. Now he has his orders for home, and the next 7 days will be the next chunk of progress. You have done an amazing job, too, Marian, of juggling all your things, (Hannah, home, being there for Wayne, etc.). We will continue our prayers for continued progress, healing and patience, to let the process happen at the best pace. Wayne, you listen to Marian. :)
I think Wayne will appreciate this famous quot that summarizes how we all feel:
"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.
Roger, Tranquility. We copy you on the ground. You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again. Thanks a lot."
And thank you Marian for keeping us up to date on what had to be a nerve testing week.
