Home again:)

Scott is home again after 6 days in hospital. He is not tube-free anymore:( He now has a drainage tube attached to his leg to drain the hernia site so it can't accumulate fluid and get infected again. Hopefully he'll get it taken out in a few weeks. He also has a picc line which is always attached to an IV bag of antibiotics and a pump. It gives him a dose every 4 hours for a month! We REALLY don't want this infection to survive this time!
Gratefully Scott does still feel good. The docs continue to make changes to his meds and another biopsy is scheduled for next week. This time he will get it done the easier way! YAHOO! We won't have to spend 8 hours in hospital for each biopsy anymore. THAT is good news!
Yesterday was the 1st anniversary of my grandpa's death. We visited the cemetery. It struck me how close it came to Scott being there. I felt overwhelming gratitude as I stood there thinking how hard it would be to only visit Scott in a cemetery. I held him close.
Today is our 14th wedding anniversary! I've really been introspective and reflective these 2 days thinking back on this last year. When I feel discouraged because Scott's recovery isn't progressing as quickly as I'd like I only need to read back on my entries from early in the year. The wait for a heart ended, the ICU experience ended, and the hospital stay ended. We are still going in the right direction. I'm thankful to have made it this far! Each day is a gift. I appreciate each one. Fourteen years is really an accomplishment!!!
