Homecoming


Dad came home today! What a great day. Mom went to the hospital today and brought dad home. He walked in the door like he was coming home from work. He looked great. Although he didn't think so. He called in the morning a little bit upset because he had seen himself in the mirror when he was brushing his teeth. He was shocked at the indention caused by removing everything in the surgery. He also was a bit shocked by the 10 inches or so of stitches. We tried to assure him that he looked great, but he was still upset.

Linda, Frank, Carol and Joe stopped by the house tonight to see dad again. It was great to have everyone at the house again. Just like the old days. Dad commented that we needed to get together more often, not just for difficult times like these. I agree. We used to spend every holiday with the Blews and the Rowes and things have changed since all of us kids have grown up and we have had our own kids. I guess that happens, but we sure had some great times.

We spent most of the day watching football with dad. He was in and out as he took some naps. I am still amazed at how well he is healing and how great he is. If he only knew. We are just continuing our prayers for healthy healing and good results of the PET scan.
