I am finally home from the hospital!!!!

I didn't think it would happen today but my hematicrit (sp) finally leveled out last night and has stayed steady all day!! So, the Dr said I could go home as long as I continued to infuse liquids and protein through my g-tube!!! Thanks to every one for the support and encouragement. You will never know how much I needed it.

Being home is so wonderful!!!! But also extremely exhausting!!!! there are lots of stairs here. Funny how I hadn't noticed that before!!!! lol It is so worth every painful step I have to take in this house just to be able to sleep in my own bed!

There really isn't any place like home!!!! -Julie

YAY!!!!!

I agree....there's nothing like your bed at home. Just glad you're finally home!!!! Take things really easy - it is exhausting coming home from the hospital.
