Tech Support

Dad was discharged yesterday and is home!

He was originally supposed to go home on a day/night pass Sunday but the doctor on call wasn't comfortable with the night pass so he went home Sunday afternoon on a 4 hour pass.  Mom spoke with his regular doctor Tuesday morning who said that dad being in the hospital was starting to become so upsetting that he felt it was time and better if dad was home.  Mom texted and said "that doctor is so nice ....gave me his personal phone number... Which he said he "never" gives out! Gave us both a hug when we left and I honest to God thought I saw a tear in his eye!!"  I asked her at what point she was supposed to use his phone number but she hasn't replied.

Other good news... dad's email and Netflix aren't working on his iPad and I'm his tech support so he's texting me again!  Since my last post I had continued to text him every day with no response.  Yesterday I asked him if it felt good to be home and I got a "yes".  Asked him a few more questions, got a few more one word responses and then today he texted about his email and Netflix.  Told him I would call but he said to call later tonight as he was just laying down for a sleep.  

What to pray for... that dad does okay at home and for my mom as she starts the caregiver role again.

What I'm grateful for... the doctor taking care of my dad in the hospital.
