After 5 or so long weeks, he is coming home! Rick will be home Tuesday. His plane arrives at 3pm. I am so excited!!! Words cannot express how excited we both are to see each other again. I will pick him up and take him to Broad Acres in Wellsboro. Then from there, when he is ready, he will be home home.
I will post more later!

Time
It's been too long since I wrote. A lot of things have happened. Rick had his leg amputated 6cm below the knee. About a week after that, things went wrong.
He was hallucinating, slurring his words, falling asleep at the drop of a hat, things just weren't right. His blood glucose was dropping often. Too low. Finally, last Thursday, things got bad. He stopped going to the bathroom, they had to use a catheter (sp). Later in the night, was even worse. He went unresponsive on us. They had to do a rapid response on him to bring him back.
I found out a couple hours later and was so scared. I have my opinion. I believe he was over medicated. But of course there is no true way to prove it.
He is better now. Everything that I was worried about has changed since then.
We were told yesterday he was accepted into BroadAcres nursing facility in Wellsboro. The hospital believes he could be released Saturday. So if all goes well, he could be "home" Sunday.
It's possible though it might be pushed back. Today, during PT, he was in the bathroom, and the non slip sock, slipped. Rick fell and broke the wound open. They had to go back in to the OR today and clean it and staple it back together.
I can't tell you how scary this has all been. Please continue to pray for us!
