Scilla was definitely excited to go today. She called me last night and said all she had was a "wake up" left, meaning she go to sleep and wake up and she would be coming home! She called me at about 8:15 this morning to make sure I was awake. I got to RCP at about 9:15, but we didn't leave for another almost 2 hours. After leaving RCP she wanted to go to GARDEN RIDGE and then to the DOLLAR GENERAL store, followed lastly by a stop at TACO BELL. She commented on our ride home that the grass smelled good, to which I replied you are just happy to be going home and to smell some fresh air...ha ha!
I got her home and safely in her house, and now I am starting to think the hard part starts! No longer can we call nurses or CNA's or doctors or therapists to assist; it is all on us. The road ahead of us seems very tedious and I am not sure if we can do it alone, I think we will definitely need to hire a nurse or caregiver; although she doesn't really want one.
Since I (well my awesome hubby) am/ is the only in the family with a sedan type vehicle, I told her that Greg is welcome to use the car at any time until they can get a car of their own. She will have therapy 3 days a week and she has MANY doctors appointments; the first of which is this Friday. The week of the 24th in addition to therapy she has appointments on MONDAY, TUESDAY, and WEDNESDAY; that is a lot of doctor visits to go to in one week!
Before I end tonight's blog, I must ask for prayer for sweet baby Emma. She has been hospitalized again. She stopped breathing on Monday and was rushed to the hospital. They are running several tests and scans trying to find a cause, so to all you prayer warriors out there, please whisper a prayer for Emma and her family tonight!
As I end tonight, I just want to thank God for blessing us; he has done more than enough for us and I just want to give him praise for saving my sister's life; she has had some rough times during the past 58 days, but God has kept her and gave a testimony!
WELCOME HOME PRISCILLA
WE LOVE YOU!
