Home Sweet Home


Nick is home at last! After a long day packing up Nick's room, three or four trips to the car, three or four trips to the pharmacy to straighten out all the meds, three pages of discharge instructions, and multiple discussions with various doctors, nurses, social work, dietitian, and equipment people, Nick and I finally got in the car TOGETHER for the first time since March 9th and headed for home. It is so wonderful to have Nick home and he is so happy to be out of the hospital. It is late as I post this and a new day has already begun. For now Nick is asleep in his own bed. Now I can breathe a sigh of relief before the next round begins. There's no place like home.

The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned. ~ Maya Angelou
