The reality that in just a few weeks Deano will be coming home was very evident when the nurse asked me whether or not any one had showed me how to use the feeding tube. Guess what I think I now know how to use a feeding tube.
The thing is I made up a story in my mind around "Deano coming home", and it certainly did not have anything to do with feeding tubes, wheel chairs and retrofitting our house.
"Deano coming home" meant he would be eating steaks, and cooking them to. It meant that he would be walking, maybe with a little limp now and then and that he would be verbally communicating with us.
Deano had the weekend off so he will resume his therapy on Monday.
Where do we go from here??????????
Stay tuned!
Home Sweet Home
Now that is a smile I would pay for!

hello Angel, Miss you and thinking of you. I have had
Dean scheduled two
Sundays in a row and because of one health issue or another I have been forced to lay low. Picked up something on Friday and by Sat night it was on full force... I cannot risk infecting Dean with the flu or cold, or any other bug. So I am home loving you all and setting my sights on next week-end. Not many left before he is home.
Sending a heart full of love,
Laura
Teri, I fed my Father-in-law through his feeding tube and it's a cinch! Dean will be able to help more than you realize now. Hang in there. It seems scary but before you know it you will be a pro at it. Walking with him in a wheelchair is better than no walks at all.
