Home Sweet Home

John is doing well at home this time. I think that he will be staying. We are starting to get out and about a little bit. Yesterday we went to the Cancer Center for his blood work. After that he took me to Lawson Mall. He bought a new purse for me for my birthday. I got a huge bag seeing how my other purse was always stuffed to the max. Now I can bring a book for each of us and a water bottle for John when we go to his various appointments. After that we went to the Sally Ann to get some used stuffed toys for the dog. I don't know how but that dog knew what John had in the bag when we got home and just about did a Dino on John to get the toys. We also stopped off a Wal Mart to get a birthday present for Noah. Jonathan and Melissa and Noah came over for supper. John did very good with all of this activity. His legs get a little stiff. This morning he went to the store to get coffee and went and collected the mail. It is so nice seeing him doing mundane things. He is making his breakfast right now. Nice and normal.

John has an appointment on Friday with the kidney specialist. Pray that his kidneys will fully recuperate from all of the treatments that he has received. On Feb. 28 he has an appointment for a stress test. Pray that his cardio respiratory system recuperates as well. So far he has had no more short breath episodes since he has come home.

I am going to be working a bit the rest of this month. I will be training my replacement at the end of the month. Pray that everything keeps going well so I feel O.K. about leaving John alone at home. I think he will be fine. Don't worry, If I think that he is not O.K. I will stay home.
