Day 10 -- He's HOME!

The nurse told Levi this morning she was going to have him discharged by 1:00 today.  Of course, that made time drag.  Educators from dietary, pharmacy, rehab, social work, etc. all had to make an appearance.  Stitches needed to be taken out.  Paperwork had to be completed.

I was standing out in the hall while sutures were being removed and started listening to the heart failure team who were discussing Levi while they waited, too.  I overheard one say, "I'd like to wait."  Whoa!! 

Me:  "What do you mean "wait"?" 

Doctor:  "Until tomorrow."  He went on to explain to me why he wanted to wait. 

Me:  "I understand.  We want the best, too.  But he is ready to go home so you can tell him, not me."

Doctor:  "That's fine."  Goes into the room.

5 minutes later, he comes back out.

Doctor:  "I caved.  I couldn't say no to those sad eyes."

So, HE'S HOME!! 

He's very tired and hoping to get some good rest now.

Thank you, Everyone, for all the prayers!!  Please, continue to pray for healing and strength.
