Inspection

I know it's just a home evaluation to see what Josh will need here at home, but for me it seems more like an inspection. Or maybe it's just that he is coming home soon and I want things to be nice and clean. I have been nesting all weekend! In between visits with Josh I have been scrubbing and washing and cleaning, my two older kids have helped out a lot. I spent some time with Josh this evening, I took him dinner and we had time to talk. I think he is excited to be able to come home, but a little nervous as am I. It has been a long time for him and he has had great nurses taking care of him. He has also been monitored every six or so hours. How will I know if his vitals are screwy? What if he misses his nurses because I am to busy with everything to get to him right away and there is no call button on our bed? What if I forget his meds? I so hope that he adjusts well, it will be so good to have our family back together. This will be another phase to adjust to, a good one.

Tomorrow is the inspection/evaluation and then he will go back to room 501 for another day or two until everything is ready for him to leave. They have to order a wound vac that he can take home. They will also want him to have the things in place that he will need at home, whatever they decide on tomorrow. Oh my and meds, I am sure we will have to pick up some prescriptions for him.  We will also have to set up his wound clinic, PT, and doctor appointments. We figured it out and he would really only have had about 2 or 3 more days of therapy if he were to have stayed until the 29th because of the holiday and the weekend, so it makes sense to have him come home sooner. Thank you to everyone who visited with Josh over the weekend, in person or on the phone. I know that it is good for him and good to know people care. Thanks again, love to all, Denise
