Friday, 8:00 pm Update

OK......I'm almost afraid to say it, but......WE'RE HOME!!!!!!!! We finally left the hospital at about 4:00 this afternoon. I won't tell you that this awful female bus driver almost hit me, the nurse and the car while we were loading everything up. Needless to say I will be making a call to her boss in the morning....but that's another story. WE'RE HOME!!!!!!! The home health care people have already come by and Steve is hooked up to his TPN. At about the same time she was hooking him up Michael was in the kitchen searing a couple of steaks so I told Steve to just close his eyes and imagine that the TPN was ground up steak. I don't think he went for that idea. Now, if we can just have a peaceful, uneventful evening...........!!!!!!! Oh, I almost forgot - right before we left one of Steve's doctors came in and told us that his CEA (blood test that shows the presence of tumors) is negative!! Thank you God!!!!!! Steve and I both want you all to know that we appreciate all the prayers and that it's those same prayers that have given us the strenght to get through this huge ordeal. He still has a ways to go but as his doctor said, "He's the strongest man I have ever seen!" I know that with God's help he'll have a complete recovery.
