Recovery Day 16

HOMEWARD Bound!!! Yep, we broke out. After 16 days of recovery and a day long surgery, he is home! Praise Jesus!

We are emotionally and mentally preparing for the remainder of this roller coaster recovery. All the doctor teams have reminded us all day that this recovery is a marathon roller coaster which seems only appropriate for a Cold Brew Shake N Bake! Bubbly (Dana on Fournier's team) said today that it could take as long as 6-8 months for Alan to be back to his base line. 

BUT Dr. F told us yesterday that while he did have that setback and will probably have another 24-48 round of his innards shutting down again, he is not worried about Alan going home. "Most of his patients, whether inpatient 10 days or 21 days, aren't as dedicated to doing everything as you." That quote made my wife heart so proud. Alan has worked so hard. Yes he has a long way to go, but he has an amazing spirit and will be completely successful! He's already an incredible warrior and survivor! So grateful for him!

Tonight the girls don't have band! So we are looking forward to a night at home with them, watching the Astros win!
