Some great news and some not so great news.
Great news: Stacey is home. The Dr. and the nurses at St. Vincents were amazing and really helped her recovery. So much so, that the Dr. felt she was more than ready to come home today. We are so glad to be out of the hospital and in our house, I can't begin to tell you.
Not so great news: The car drive home was VERY hard for Stacey. You just can't control all of the lateral and up and down movements. You remember pinball. You know if you got too aggressive with the paddles, the game would "tilt" and shut down. That's kind of what Stacey's balance system did on the drive home. So, please no phone or visits today. Send lots of emails, comments, and facebook encouragement, but I don't think she'll be up for much else today.
Again, we thank you for your prayers. Overall, this experience is going way better than either of us thought it would. It's because of all of your prayers. Thank you so much. Keep them coming.

I am very happy that you are home to recover. Speaking from experience having many hopsitals stays myself, there is truly no place like home to recover own your own. It is wonderful to wake up on your own schedule and be able to rest at will. I will continue to pray for your continual of healing and recovery. God has his hand on you. Be very certain of that. "He comforts us in all in affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God." 2 Cor 1:4
Thank you, Alena It's true that things are much easier at home, at our own pace. The nurses were wonderful but it's better to be surrounded by people who can look past my turbin-head and love me all the same. :)
