48 Hours At Home = A New Life

We've been home 48 hours now and already there is a wonderful sense of everything fresh and new. We realize we have gotten to the point where the events of the last 11 months will no longer define who we are, but rather will be one of many things that propel us down the path toward the next chapter of our lives. It is exciting and rewarding and glorious and humbling all at the same time.

Parker is still uncomfortable, but when I think of how he screamed in pain last March when I drove over the speed bumps in his driveway, compared to how it felt to him on Sunday when we came home, this is a breeze. And of you ask me, he's earned a break.

Going HOME!

Dr. Turner and Dr. Freer (the surgeon covering for Dr. Garcia this weekend) both came by and released Parker. They taught me how to empty the two drains, how to change the bandages, and gave us all the info we need for a successful recovery at home.

Thank you all for your many prayers and all the blessings that have helped us get to this point. It has been 11 months since this ordeal started, and while we still have some things left to finish up, now I can finally see the finish line.
