We are home! We are home! Thom and I went to the hospital to pick up Severin at 10:30 am. By noon we were on our way. We used a wheelchair, but not for me this time it was for all Severins crap. We were quite the ensemble. He came home on continuous feeds through his NJ tube, and oxygen. Since we have been home his O2 sats have been in the 90s -he needs to stay between 75-85. We turned him down, and eventually off. He has been on room air with saturations in the mid 80s. "He don't need no stinkin' oxygen!" He has peed out twice- full outfit and blankets. Here comes the laundry... It is a bit stressful but we are adjusting. I'm calling this a CHECK , home two weeks and one day after surgery, that is close enough for me. Thank you for all your support and prayers it is the reason we are at this point today. All our love,
