Today Ken is scheduled to come home from the hospital. If his blood work is good this morning, he will be released from the hospital. This will be his third joyous return. This time, he is in much better shape. We three will wheel him home across the road and he will be able to stand up. With the help of a nurse beside him, he will walk to a chair. His color is good and his eyes are bright. Ken enjoys eating Rita's cooking and usually eats everything on his plate. We are hoping that the third return will be the charm.
Of course, if he is not released today, which is supposed to be in the morning, we will cheer him on tomorrow. But we hope he returns today. Our family is happy with Ken in the room. He has throughout his infections retained his sense of humor which has been a blessing. And he has never complained although he has gotten discouraged with one infection after another. He is a long way from perfect. But he hopes to continue improving although he is not clear just how far he can return to good health. The Parkinson's may get in his way. But for today, we are all optimistic. Soon we get to have a third and last celebration, Ken's third return from the hospital.
