Hi Folks,

Just to let you all know my son Nick is home after almost 4 months and I am happier than a pig in poop! I want to thank all of you who have given me advise whether it was a comment on a post or even someone else's, the education I received here made me a formidable foe in the hospital as an advocate for my son. Thanks for your support when I was scared, confused and clueless. (the wife says I am still confused and clueless). Today starts a new beginning, I am letting the Prince sleep before we stretch him out have breakfast and starting planning the road to finish that Biology degree. Thanks again folks.

Excellent news! I know it was a scary proposition at first and I hope the transition went well for you. Let us know how you all are doing. ...and, so happy to hear the positive note about the biology degree. Why not push forward on that when he's in a good routine? My best wishes go out to you, your son and the rest of your household!

I'm so glad yall made it home! Home is just so much more comfortable than a hotel. You will encounter some up and down days but everyone does so don't sweat it on the off days. Yall will go thru a learning curve but you will survive it...may not think so at the time but it will get easier. Just take it hour by hour then day by day...soon yall will be pros.


WELCOME HOME!!!!!!!
