Return to Boulder

Pattie is now at home, in her own bed, and loving the comfort of not having blood draws, temp checks, BP checks, O2 saturation checks, this procedure and that! Dr. Donato released us about noon and we got here by 2:30 PM. Pattie's AM activities included another Thorosintesis and an ultrasound scan of her swollen right leg to make sure that it was free of clots. Both turned out to reassure us that we can take over where they left off at the Med Ctr. We have a follow-up appointment with Dr. Donato on Thursday at 10:30 AM. He is anxious, as are we to get on with next steps along this uncertain path that we have happened upon. Thank you for your caring and sharing. Our best to each of you!

    Welcome home!!! As I read posts by others, I am thankful they are close by to drop in a casserole or spell Willis a bit so that he can go to the store or whatever else comes up...but I'm afraid that if I said call me when you need a break--it would take me far too long to get there...last I checked it is a 10-11 hour drive!

    Thank you soooo very much for keeping the blog updated. Now that you are home, I'll email you. Please Pattie, don't over do--that is so very tempting but it can cause problems.

    You continue to be in our prayers are you begin this next leg of your path. We are thinking of you.

    Pattie,

    I am so happy to hear that you are home. I love that Willie refers to himself as the Nicholl Street caregiver. It seems like a perfect name.

    I hope that you are able to truly relax and give yourself time to heal now that you won't have the constant interruptions that are typical of staying in the hospital.

    Thinking of you and happy that you are home!

    Lots of love,

    Heather

    Pattie and Willie - what a sigh of relief to know you got to come home today. Praise God for that!

    And Nicholl Street Caregiver, there are some assist caregivers on Aspen Drive, Club Place, Grasmere Drive, Dartmouth, Clover Leaf and even Ten Star Drive in Tucson. Please let us know if you'd receive visitors, food, calls, e-mails, love and cheerleading. We have been certified as experts in these fields. And, you are continually in our prayers.
