This morning, even before my second cup of tea--and therefore before I was properly awake--one of the nurses said they'd probably send us home today.
And they did!
I am so grateful. And ridiculously excited that I'm now free to do all the ordinary things. (And also hyper-aware of how close to the edge we are--just one shoddy decision or dreadful diagnosis away from chaos.)
Pic: Not doctor's orders, nor something I was comfortable with, but Big A wanted to eat at a restaurant and I found myself unable to deny him that after everything he's been through. The kids were free, so we all headed out to Mitchell's where we had a great--and slightly gluttonous--dinner. Super healthy meals for everyone starting tomorrow.

YAY cheers to the ordinary. The new Claire Lombardo book has me meditating on the joys (and how restrained that word can be) of the ordinary, too.
HE'S HOME!!!! This is the best news I have seen all day. Well, it's 4:22 am so that's not a hard bar. Let me rephrase. This is the best news I've seen all week! And you know, a nice meal out is a good way to celebrate, and now it's back to the glory of ordinary life. Yay, I'm so happy for you. xoxoxo
Hooray! What joyful news! I'm so very happy for you and your family. I hope this Afterglow lasts a good long while. XO
Take care please.
Whew!
Happy that you two are back home! :)
I am a big fan of indulgence to celebrate the ordinary <3
Sarah--I looked up that book when you mentioned it, but I don't think I can read it!
Nicole--Thank you, friend!! XOXO
Thank you, Nance, Gillian, NicoleAndMaggie, and TR!
Chiconky--that has the makings of a great mantra :)!
I'm glad he's home. I know what it's like to live in hospitals, from the summer North was in and out of the hospital (2020) for months.
Yay! I hope you enjoy having him home! It's so exciting not to be in the hospital and have to go back and forth all the time.
