Homeward Bound!!!

Finally, the post I've been waiting to write...Dad is coming home. That's right, Mom and Dad are flying back to STL on Saturday night. Dad was released by the surgeon today. He also removed almost all of his bandages and took him off the oxygen. No more carrying his own trendy oxygen bar with him, he now has to breathe the same air the rest of us get. He has his final antibiotic infusion tomorrow and then he will be a free man.

Since he and Mom left for vacation on June 28th it has been quite a trip to Denver. It will be great to have him back home. While the road in front of him is a long one, he will at least be looking at it through his own window in a few days.

Thanks again for everyone's prayers and support! You all are what have gotten he and Mom through the last few months. The blog will continue...I'm sure we'll have some hilarious chemo stories coming your way soon (or something like that)! Let's all pray for an uneventful flight home.
