He is home!

Brian is home at last. He was discharged early this morning. He was able to see the dogs (Kilo and Tig), unfortunately we needed to put Kilo down since he hasn't been well through Winter. We had planned to wait until Brian could say his goodbyes. Brian is a big eater now, and can help in the kitchen. He made quacamole for dinner and tries his best. He wears a gait belt that we can hold on to while he is walking. He did almost fall once, he isn't exactly steady so we have to keep eyes on him at all times and assist him when he decides to quickly jump out of his chair. He kept looking to see if he put a hole in the wall after he face planted it. We have to keep the humor at all times. He was able to go down stairs and also walk to the mail box, using a walker. He had lots of visitors; grandma, Seth, Jake, Gail, Leslie, and Dwight. That is really good for him. He does get very tired at the end of the day and went to bed last night at 7:30pm. I stayed after we put him to bed to visit with mom, and write down questions we have for the doctors and add to our "to-do" list for Brian. We heard a door shut and Brian had gotten up to go to the bathroom and was getting back into bed. We were relieved he hadn't fallen, he is so independent and just does what he wants. So here we are, another hurdle.
