Day 25 - Almost Home

The word of the day was that they are booting Dad out of the hospital tomorrow providing some tests come back good in the morning. YEAH!

He is trying to eat and he did get up a little more today, although, he fell asleep a lot too. I think going home will help him get some motivation and energy going, I hope.

I know he is scared about going home, though, too. That probably sounds a little weird, but the thing is at the hospital if something goes wrong, they're right there to help. At home, it won't be that way. He's just nervous. He was nervous last time he went home too - or rather, the first time he went home, way back when. After putting yourself through so much agony, it's a struggle to really get back on your feet.

I just hope some things can return to a semi-sort of normal for a while. I know they want to do another bone marrow biopsy - maybe next week. That will be stressful to get through, but once we're over that hump and (pray to GOD) get the GO that he's clear, we can potentially relax a little bit. Dad will be going to the outpatient clinic a couple times a week for a while, then once a month from then on.

As Dad's doctor always says, "we're cautiously optimistic" about where life is leading us at this point.

Pray for us, pray for my Dad, pray for my Mom and we'll pray for you.
