Julie is finally home from the hospital The doctor chased her out of the hospital at about 6:00pm tonight. The transition home is both relieving and a bit scary. Its so good to be home...but the girls and I are now the primary care givers - no leaning on professional medical staff for delivery of meds, emptying of drains, etc.

| Home Pharmacy Is Now Open! Lots of meds and a chart to keep track |
Today was a very hard day for Julie, but she made good progress. Slow, hard progress, but progress nonetheless.
Specific prayer requests.
- She is having severe pain in her head and neck...likely from the epidural being in so long. Pray that the Lord would remove this pain
- She is having trouble eating and drinking, but needs to do both build up strength and heal properly. This is exacerbating the negative effect of the meds, and making her woozy. Its a vicious circle. Pray she would have the will to eat and drink and that she would start building up strength.
- Please pray that I will keep up my strength and my wits (sleep depravation does strange things to your brain) to be able to properly care for her and the girls
- Pray for the road ahead. This is just the first step in our journey...can't think about that right now, so just trying to think about the next 24 hours
- Prayer of thanksgiving for so many people who have helped, and will continue to help us in this time of need.
Thanks all!
