We're Going Home

Shirley didn't have the best night. She woke up at 5:00 this morning vomiting. But I guess none of that matters. The doctors came in a little bit ago and told us they were going to send Shirley home.

I guess it's for the best. It feels scary and wrong. Sick people belong in the hospital. But I am going to trust that they know what they are doing. She will have her pain pump at home. They explained to her with her cancer and the stents that she has in, she could have a lot of nausea. If she is taking pills for her pain, she may vomit those up and then she cannot control her pain.

So they convinced her that this is for the best. I hope that she really is o.k. with it. A lot of crying, very sad. She said she is having horrible thoughts. I think we all are. I feel like this is our final step in this horrible journey we started back in February. But we will always pray and hope for a miracle.

So I guess that by the end of the day Shirley may be home or at the latest tomorrow. Pray that this is an easy transition and all goes well for Shirley and her family. Her dogs will be so glad to see her. And her tree is already up. It will feel more like Christmas with Shirley at home.

Thanks again for all your comments and prayers...we feel so loved and it does feel comforting to know that so many people are praying for us.

Love, Teresa
