No Place Like Home

No Dorothy we're not in Kansas anymore, but Jared has returned home.
No sleep for the weary so we'll just live on dreary. Have you ever felt claustrophobic well I am sure I will be feeling that soon. We will be home bound for a couple of weeks, but at least we are home. The people at the hospital gave good care but now it is all left up to me for the nursing care, IV antibiotics, tube feeds, and wound care, I never thought I would have to use my nursing skills again so I let all that info leave my brain, along with everything else that I thought I would never use again. By the way only 3 1/2 weeks left until my boy comes home, so life is good. We appreciate the little things in life now. The fact that I can drink Diet Pepsi is a good thing, It is good to have a vice in life brings a little joy. Peace, love and happiness to all. Maybe next post will be fun but I have nothing fun in my brain right now, so this is all you get.

DEJA VU

UPDATE ON JARED AND LIFE WITH THE HINDE'S

HERE WE GO WITH ROUND NUMBER TWO,

IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S WHAT WERE GONNA DO.

THE TUBES, THE DRAINS, THE INCISIONS TOO.

HE CANNOT LIVE WITH JUST A FEW.

SO ON THE GURNEY THEY WHEEL HIM DOWN,

AND ON TO SURGERY FOR ANOTHER ROUND.

HE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANY CHOICE.

AT LEAST THIS TIME HE HAS HIS VOICE.

SO WITH THE BAD WE'LL TAKE SOME GOOD.

PERHAPS THIS TIME WE'LL LIVE AS WE SHOULD.

THIS IS ALL THAT WE MUST DO,

TO MAKE THIS THE LAST DEJA VU.

so this all started Friday night when Jared asked a neighbor about his low grade fever and he said just come to the e r and I will listen to your lungs and check your oxygen saturation, so while there he decided to order a chest x-ray. A couple hours later Dr. Swanson called him back down to the hospital because of some fluid in the lungs, after an MRI and C T scan it was determined that he had an abscess in his chest, near his spine, over the diaphragm, near the heart and aorta, and the lungs. Surgery was needed to clear out all the infection. So at 1:30 Saturday afternoon they took him in to surgery and at about 8:30 pm he was moved up to the ICU. Now he is on the floor and trying to recover. He has not been feeling well and had lots of nausea but they changed medicines yesterday afternoon and he seems to be doing better. Now it is just going to be a long road to recovery, but he is still with us so we feel blessed. Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers, it means more than you know.

Deep Thoughts

"Obedience with exactness brings phenominal blessings" I don't know who said this but it is something to think about. A little thought goes a long way to helping us to become who we desire to be.
