Going Home

This morning I got the best news we've all heard in many weeks; Vicki is going home. She called me this morning to give me the good news. Jack was packing up as we talked and they are going to get out of there ASAP. Vicki sounded weak and tired, but happy. She didn't rest well last night because she knew she might get to go home today. She's looking forward to getting home for some puppy love and a good rest.

What's Next?
The current plan is for her to be readmitted to the hospital for more chemo in a couple of weeks. The oncologist is looking at other chemo options which might allow her to be treated as an out patient. We will hope and pray that this comes to pass.

Gratitude
Vicki has expressed the intent to spend her time at home as joyfully as possible and not to let worries about what comes next to spoil this gift. Let's all join her in a moment of gratitude and hope. All we have is this moment. If you find your self safe, happy, and free from fear in this moment take a deep breath and do whatever form of gratitude practice your religious and cultural traditions proscribe. For those without a tradition I highly recommend the Snoopy "happy dance" done outside under the sun and sky.
