The title says it all. When Dad and I visited Bill yesterday afternoon, we learned that they are going to discharge him from St. Francis Hospital today! I can hardly believe it. It was only Friday morning when we took him in, and they're sending him home today.
He's looking good. He walks around on his own -- slowly. And while we were there yesterday we watched as he climbed a flight of stairs on his own -- slowly, but also only half an hour after they walked him around the entire floor. They had an oxygen monitor and a heart monitor on him the whole time and everything looked good. He still tires quickly, but he was much better yesterday than he was on Sunday. He's impatient, so he thinks he should be recovering faster, but I think he's making remarkable progress.
And later today Bill will be home!
Thank you for all the kind words and support. Once Bill is here and on our home network where he can see them (I did print out copies and take them to the hospital yesterday, but I don't know if he's had a chance to look at them), I know he'll be touched by all the concern and affection.
Hey Kent,
Thanks so much for posting updates on how Bill is doing. It is great to hear that surgery went well and that he is on his way to recovering. By the time you get this he should be at home. I am so glad that you and your folks have been able to be there! Give my love to everyone and know that Randy and I continue to pray for Bill's full recovery.
Love,
Karen
I'm so happy to hear that Bill is doing well and will be coming home soon! Thanks for updating us on how he's doing - he's been in my thoughts...
I'm so glad to read that Bill's surgery went well and that he's getting home. I hope his recovery continues apace and that he'll soon recover much of his former vigour.
Thanks so much for posting updates about Bill here, Kent - for long-time followers of Bill's blog such as me it's great to be able to know a little of what has been happening. Take care of yourself, too :)
