HOME AGAIN HOME AGAIN

I know I am driving many of you crazy because I have not blogged in a while. We made it back home a week ago Saturday. It is so nice to be back. Thomas is quite happy too....he is constantly telling me how happy he is to be back home. We had a very hectic and stressful first week home. They crammed in appointments and treatments for Ron as soon as we returned. Mon. Wed. and Fri...he has dialysis from 12:30pm to 3:30pm This past Tues, Wed. and Thurs he also had to go to Mayo for his photopheresis treatments which run 2 1/2 - 3 hrs. ...he was pretty exhausted on Wed. and Fri...because he would have to put in a full day for both treatments. Our day would start at 5am and we would not arrive back home until close to 5pm. My nerves were quite frazzled by week's end. The weekend came and it was nice to sleep in until 8:30am. We made it back to church on Saturday evening...it sure felt good to be back ...the message was great and we left there feeling refreshed. This week has started out a bit more calm. Not so many appointments scheduled. Ron has been showing improvement everyday. His dialysis runs are going well. His walking is improving every day. He is even using his cane again for short distances. He will use it from the bedroom to the kitchen or bathroom. He uses it to walk from the front door to the car....it is amazing to see the strides he is making. He had a bit of an infection in his wound last week...but it is starting to clear up with antibiotics. He looks great and his weight is coming off. He is now at 210.....quite awesome! I am going to try and take a few days of "me time" this week....much needed. I really need this week to mentally decompress. I did not even have a chance to catch my breath last week and my nerves were completely shot. Thank you all once again for all your love...your support and your continued prayers for Ron and our family ...his successful recovery and the ability to be back home could not have happened without each of you...and our merciful God. Blessings......
