Time to go HOME!

Doctors wanted Matt to stay until Saturday. When we explained we are staying in town until Monday for a follow up appointment he said we can go home on FRIDAY!

So sometime tomorrow we are leaving the hospital and going to our friends house. Hopefullly Matt will be able to sleep better there! Our appointment isn't until Monday afternoon. We will probably go back to our friends house for a good night sleep and leave early in the morning on Tuesday. We plan to take our time driving home this time. Try to make it more comfortable for Matt.

Matt will have his stitches out 30 days from his surgery day. He will also have to have Chemo treatments 8 weeks after his surgery. Not sure how much yet. Dr Sugarbaker is going to work out with Dr. Eastman in Johnson Creek what kind of chemo and how much. He will not be able to use the same chemo that did not work the first time. So we will wait and see what they decide for him.

Matt is just happy to get home!!

Thank You to everyone for all your prayers, thoughts, cards, emails, flowers! Matt appreciated everyone of them!! He Thanks everyone for thinking of him!! He can't wait to get home and see everyone!!

Although Matt can't wait to go home the nursing staff and all the tech at the hospital were Great!!! They all spoiled him! The took really good care of Matt and he would like to thank all of them for their help and care while he was in the hospital!! They are a special group of nurses, techs and Doctors to do what they do. Thank You so Much!

Matt,

Congrats!!! You have done an amazing job with your recovery and we are so happy to hear you will head home soon. Sleeping in your own bed in your own home near all your family and friends will be the best medicine yet. We love you!~~

I think you should leave immediatly following your Monday appointment. You can still take your time.. see you Wednesday!
After the taste of freedom at Bill's house you'll be itching to be home in your own bed with Griffy by your side (if he'll take you back). Come home. I miss you! I love you!
SEE YOU WEDNESDAY!
