A month ago we would never have dreamed we are at this moment in time. Almost a week in ICU, a week on the stepdown floor and two weeks in rehab. It has been a journey and the longed for day finally arrived. I was suppose to be at the hospital between 10-11 a.m. to pickup him up. At 9:30 he calls. “Are you here yet?” When I said I was just leaving, he said, “Please hurry!”
Gene was so ready to be home. Home to his sofa, homecooked food, and windows that look out over the farm. His recovery is going to take a while, probably all summer. When the medical staff refers to what happened they say, “You were very, very, very, very sick.” It was a close call but God was merciful and spared his life here on earth. We are so grateful.
When we got Gene in the house and he sat down on the sofa, he let out a huge sigh of relief. He was home.
