Be sure to leave the light on for us!

Because Joyce will probably be coming home!

Yes, we were kinda in shock too when the Doctor said that to us. Yesterday she had some herbal tea, and today we had some broth and tea in the AM and at noon. Her gut seemed to start back up today also, and the Doctor said that was the key. She has been practically pain free, we do a lot of walking and sitting up, so the Doctor said she could get well faster at home!
Tonight she had a real meal of chicken strips and mashed potato and gravy. She did not eat very much of it, but she felt fine.

We were both very apprehensive about it at first, the last thing we want is to end up coming back in a day, but things went well tonight and we have all day tomorrow to make the decision, so we are just going to wing it tomorrow.

Also Joyce did not sleep well last night so she was very tired today and we are very tired of hospital life!

We didn't play any checkers today, but she did have a Healing Touch session and a hand massage by a Volunteer that she said was wonderful.

She didn't get her meal tonight until about 7:00 and by 8:30 she was snuggled in bed with a warm blanket (and finally warm), ready for a goodnight kiss.

Joyce's niece sent this message today.
We are so thankful for your faith and the faith of your family and friends. It is so comforting to have all those prayer warriors praying extra prayers for you!

What can we say but A________men, A_________men!
