A good day

I walked into Jim's hospital room early this morning and he gave me a big smile and had sparkles in his eyes. I could have jumped up and down! On previous admissions this would have been the point where they sent him home. This time I think I will have to bake someone some cookies and slip them a $20 to bust him out. They (and we) don't want him to be discharged too soon only to have him re-admitted in a day or two. So, it looks like he will be in the hospital through the weekend at this point. That's okay. He will have more physical and occupational therapy over the weekend, they will continue working out the home health care arrangements, and we will go home when he is stronger. So, it may be baby steps, but everything is going in a good direction. By the way...I don't completely understand how this blog works....but I know that sometimes (for some reason) posts that you guys write get sent to our email address and not posted on the blog. I wanted you to know that we DO get them...even though you can't see them posted on the blog.
Thanks everyone!!
