Home

Opps!  This is a little late.  We came home yesterday.  By the time we got home and spent time with Grandma and Grandpa it was late and I didn't get a post in.  We woke up Saturday after a rough night and Josh felt better.  The doctor came in and told him he could go home.  We wasted no time and I disconnected the IV (I love being a pro) and then got him dressed.  As soon as I got him in the wheelchair he was running around the floor and I had to lasso him and bring him back so the nurse could remove the IV and get us checked out.  I was also proud of Gordon and I cause they left us to leave without taking us downstairs and we had to figure out how to get him in the suburban by ourselves.  We did not look like too big of idiots and did not bang Josh us in the process.  That to me is a win.  We have discovered that this home is NOT handicap accessible.  The downstairs bathroom door is so skinny that the wheelchair does not fit through it and we have to put him on the floor and he scoots to the potty and then we lift him on.  Not very graceful but at least he gets there.  He really is doing remarkably well and I can credit that to you all.  Prayer works!  Josh needed you and still does and we are so so grateful for your conversations with Heavenly Father, I know he is listening.  Thank you so much, we love you all.

I am so glad that Josh is home in time to celebrate Christmas with everyone. It was so nice to see him passing out the Sacrament at Church today from his wheelchair. He is such an example of strength and faith to the other young men in the Ward. Love you guys mucho!!
