Home Again

Finally. About 2 pm, Dr. Collins came in. After a discussion as to whether Rob should stay another day while figuring out his pain medicine or go home with an increase in his pain meds and hope for the best, we decided that Rob should come home.

After figuring out everything (apparently, getting high-profile narcotics is difficult), getting Rob dressed, out to the car and picking up other meds at another pharmacy (IMED didn't have everything) we were able to have a little family reunion around 4:30 tonight.

The kids were so excited to see Rob. The dog just came and sat by Rob's feet (this is something she doesn't do - she likes to run around too much). It was fantastic. It has been great having him home.

The Tumor Review Board meets on Tuesday, but we don't see Dr. Collins for two weeks. We may not have any information as to what Rob's treatment will be until then (unless of course, we do).

I am grateful to have our family under one roof again.

Little Dorothy from Kansas said it best: "Home! And this is my room - and you are all here! And I'm not going to leave here ever again, because I love you all! And --- Oh, Auntie Em ----- there's no place like home!"

Glad to hear you are back where you belong. Our prayers for your continued strength. And may all the news you get be good!

Rick and Anita

Now maybe you can get some good sleep without so many people going in and out of your room. Welcome home.
