Home at Last!


Last night was awesome. We finally got home about 5 o'clock and Dave sunk into his recliner! Brother Al made some great salmon-- brain food I hear. Next step is the 6 week checkup - no driving til then. Fortunately I have lots to work on from home. The doctors continue the high salt therapy - 12 tablets a day. Dave's blood pressure has settled back down to the 140's over 70 - way down from the 210/80 it has been at for the first 14 days.

The comments have been fun to read and I can't wait to get Dave in front of the computer to see his "blog!"

Congratulations on getting home, I know it can be un-nerving. But there is no place like home.

We are so happy for you to be at home. Mikey told me he was saying prayers for Uncle Dave every other day. Don't ask why it is not every day!! Marie will be an excellent nurse, take advantage of that as long as you can!!! We wish we could be at that Thanksgiving table with you. This definately makes it clear why you should wake up and be thankful for another day!! We love you guys, JoDanna and "The Boys"
