Homecoming

Yesterday, just before 5, Dr. Crabtree came into Kevin's room and told him if he wanted to leave, he could.  The time between the official notice and us actually leaving felt like an eternity, but an hour or so later, we were on our way home. It was the last time (I hope) that I have to walk the long third floor hallway to Spine and Neuro to see Kevin, and the last time (I hope) that he has to sit in his room and be poked and prodded. 

Earlier in the day Kevin told me that the Hospitalist told him that he was most likely going home, so I spent most of the day getting ready for him at home - Hillary came over and walked through the house with me to make sure I didn't miss any red flags (minus the dogs and cats), and went over how to help him around the house. Once we got home, I literally turned around and he was already in the house. So much for waiting on me. 

The last almost 24 hours at home could not have gone better, the kids are so happy to see their dad, the animals all slept with him on the couch last night, thankfully I finally got the king size bed to myself (it still included a clingy 5 year old). Kevin is up and around, even getting Avery snacks and drinks when he demands them. He says he feels good, today he has a little more energy than yesterday. 

We have been asked about visitors, we don't want to have a lot of people over at once - but Kevin would love to see many of you. Please make sure that you do not have a temperature, do not have symptoms of Covid-19 and that you have not been around anyone who has tested positive or is pending a test.
