After exactly four weeks in the hospital I am finally home - just in time to celebrate Anthony's four week birthday. Some things are harder than I expected, but other things are easier. It feels so good to be back home living a somewhat normal life again. My in home therapy should start next week. The days go by pretty quickly because it takes me so long to do things that would be fast for most people - showering, getting dressed, using the bathroom. My morning routine now takes about three hours! I can't wait to be faster at these things.
Jared's been out running errands today, and I've been able to be alone with my son for the first time ever. Though it's hard and tasks take so long, it is so nice to feel like I am contributing to my family again and like I'm capable of taking care of Anthony.
We still have a long road of frustrations, therapies, and triumphs ahead of us. Please keep praying.
