Going Home

Good day today.
Ryan brought Mike & Wendy to visit and it was great for us all to spend some time together.
Ry totally sat between Deb's legs and just hung out for a while. Then I took her (Ry) down to see this cool model train set they have at the children's hospital. Cool train, sad place. Kids and hospitals just don't "go" together...

When we came back upstairs here Deb was in the hall walking with Mike, Wendy and Rebekah (cool nurse from previous post). Saw Dr. Chow who gave us some prescriptions :-) and then as we were say bye-byes to our visitors, Dr. Wapnir (surgeon) came in. She was very pleased with Deb's progress and said she can go home whenever she's ready.

Bye-bye morphine, hello oral vicodin. If that transition goes smoothly (an hour+ in and all is well -- no pain) then we're free to go. Woo hoo. Not that a hospital bed or 2 chairs pushed together is that bad, but to be home with Ryan in our own bed surrounded by our own stuff....that's what it's all about now. So, we'll see how the next few hours go and then head back to Santa Cruz. And we're both glad about that.

Good day from Stanford,
Howie
