Luby's Home!

Today was hospital procedure chaos defined, but that part didn't really matter. Read more to see why!

Luby passed all her tests in the hospital's "Homeward Bound" gym by walking up and down five steps, sitting in a simulated car to make sure she could get in and out, then walking about 120 feet back to her room. Oh, and all of that she did unassisted.

At about 4:45 PM, we left the hospital, and I have never been so careful to try to avoid potholes/cracks/dips in the road, and sharp turns. Typically a two-hour journey, the trip from Raleigh to Albemarle took about 15 minutes more than that. By the time we got home, she was so, so glad to walk through the door, see Moses and Zacchaeus (the kittens), and eat some of her grandmother's (Gog's) roast beef, green beans, and mashed potatoes. She thought she was in heaven.

Now, Mumphy and Deefle will be her on-call nurses (along with some other family help) trying our best to get all the recovery rules right and especially get the medication timing right.

So, thanks to all of you for your offers of prayer and support. She is doing wonderfully and, while I may make a guest appearance occasionally, I would imagine she will be updating the blog from here on.
