Sarah is Home
Sarah was released from Poplar Bluff Memorial Hospital a day earlier than first predicted. We thank them for their efforts.
We drove home Sunday afternoon then, with the trip going smoothly. Sarah is sore from the surgery, but relatively comfortable. I think if you saw her walking down the street, you’d never know she’d had such a shocking week. Everyone, kids included, made it through the first night at home with no major incidents (thanks to a grandmother, as usual).
We can’t say thank you enough to everyone for their support and offers of help. However, special thanks to those friends and family that combined to finish the flower gardens Sarah had started out front and beside our back patio. Absolutely wonderful. Also, special thanks to those who helped Adelaide get ready for her dance recital on Friday night and then again to those that documented the event for Sarah to see.
Sarah has an appointment with her oncologist (at Ellis Fischel) later this week, at which point we’ll begin learning more and more and more about how she is going to beat the illness.
Many have asked about bringing meals to the house, with Amy LaHue being the first of many to offer to coordinate such a thing. So, if you are interested in such a thing, e-mail Jason and he’ll forward to Amy so she can coordinate. Many have offered already, but I’m going to make you offer again (to give you a chance to back out!).
