Still Waiting

Apparently Sundays are a really bad day to be discharged. Waiting for prescriptions and oxygen and a few other supplies before we go. I guess we can handle a couple more hours.

GOING HOME!!!!!

The doctor said that they don't have any reason to keep him any longer so we are starting the discharge process. Dad is too tired to be too excited but Mom and I are doing the happy dance! Thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers. I will let everyone know when he's really there. Feel free to come by any time. He may sleep through your visit but all is good.

Still Good

Everything is still going well so I think they nailed this one on the head. He has been walking and eating and is taking a well deserved nap. I'm going to be Nurse Bruhilda in a minute and wake him up for his walk. Wish me luck!

Not So Fast...

Sorry this took so long but we had a pretty serious set back and we needed to wait and see what happened. Sooooooo glad we didn't head home before his tummy decided to start doing jumping jacks. After a bout of severe stomach spasms he is back on the road of recovery. All xrays and tests came back normal so there are not any other serious problems to be concerned about. He has walked around the block twice and is still eating well so it's just a matter of time. So glad the doctors played it safe and kept him one more night. Love the amazing people up here. Heaven forbid anyone need to hang out here, but when you have cancer or are here to support someone that does, there is no better place. I will forever be grateful to Mr. Huntsman and his vision of this amazing place of hope and healing.

Amazing Man

Four days ago I was doubting that Dad would be home for Christmas but he is AMAZING! He is unplugged from everything but his oxygen and doing great. Food services are hopping as he's making up for all the meals he missed out on and he's wearing a path in the carpet where he's spending time walking. The trip home will be a long and exhausting one so we hope that no one will be offended when we ask for no visitors tomorrow. We will give him time to rest and let you know. He is so touched that so many have been following his blog and care about him. It doesn't surprise us. We think he's a pretty great guy and he has an equally amazing wife. Mom has been a rock. She has stood up for her husband when needed and just been a hand to hold when needed. She has been a fun room mate but next time I hope it's just for fun. Goodnight!

YUM

I didn't think anyone could make a bowl of potato soup, a container of tapioca and a chocolate shake look so good. He should have done a commercial! Also had a special experience as an amazing group from Alta High School came into his room and gave him his own personal concert. Pretty cool. Merry Christmas Everyone!

GREAT NEWS!!!

We don't dare get too excited but it sounds like the plan is to go home tomorrow morning! YAAAA!!!! He's been up, had an english muggin and a cup of coffee for breakfast, is showered and looking like a million dollars! Happy Days!
