Honey, We're Home!

Stefann was released from the hosptial today. He may also have something wrong with his right ankle, so he has been instructed to stay OFF that foot completely, now weight bearing on it!

After we left the hospital, we went and saw the car....




This used to be the front end of Tony's car.

This is the passenger side, where Tony was sitting.

This is the driver's side. Can you believe Stefann's 5'11" was in that seat?


And here is where Sarah was sitting.


And they all "walked" away from the wreckage.

Praise be to God!

Tomorrow, Tomorrow...

It looks like maybe tomorrow (October 9, 2008) we will be going home! One year ago, on October 9, 2007, we brought Grunt home. It is only appropriate that we go home that day then, right?

Had very little oxygen today. Walked tonight around the unit with no oxygen and saturation stayed up to 97%! Hooray! Even took a few steps without the walker. Not completely steady yet without the walker, but will be going strong in no time.

Had an MRI today on both knees. The imaging is in a building across the road and Stefann had to ride in a Medi-Van to get there. First they wheeled him from his room on one street, across the hospital to an exit on a different street, then transported him in the medi-van back to the first street two buildings up on the other side of the road! Took ten times longer to get there than if we would have just wheeled across the street in the wheel chair ourselves, but that is not allowed! Crazy.

Don't have the results from the MRI yet. Probably will get them in the morning. We are ready to get out of here!

Not Going Home Today

Still struggling with the O2 saturation. Won't be going home today. :-(
