She's Home!
On Sunday afternoon Barbara finally left hospital, some 16 days after checking in so abrubtly. What a time she has had. Barbara still has two more dialysis treatments to go, but can do those as an out-patient later this week. Her health has improved significantly these last few days and she is now well on the road to recovery. Barbara was greeted at home by a wonderful set of surprises from our neighbors and friends including a 'stork' announcing Ian's arrival, a beautiful sunflower floral display and a giant food basket along with Champagne and chocolates! We are going to save the Champers for the day we bring Ian home. Including the many flowers and cards Barbara also received in hospital plus e-mails and messages of support, words cannot begin to describe how touching and inspiring these have all been. Thank you to everybody out there who have been there for us both - you have been absolutely amazing. Barbara now has several weeks ahead of her to recover and has been told to take the next several days very easy indeed. To make our Sunday complete, Ian also weighed in above his birth weight and hit 2lbs for the first time. Mom and Dad are very happy as you can imagine and Dad is particularly happy tonight too as he has his wonderful wife home again.
