There's No Place Like Home

Dallin is home.  It came as a surprise to us this afternoon, thinking it wouldn't happen til tomorrow.  But Dr. Thompson signed him off then the surgical team did and it was homefree!  Just in time too because he was starting to get a little stir crazy. 

He is upstairs settled in for the night in the guest room.  Our mattress is too soft and after several attempts at pillow positions, I went into the guest room and built up a bit of an angle under the mattress and that did the trick.  With a pillow under his knees he is in a  more comfortable position that is more like a hospital bed instead of completely flat. 

The boys don't know they are home.  I got them here after Dallin was settled in, thanks to the wonderful help of the Ryan family and put them straight to bed.  They spent the afternoon at Em's house and were wore right out from having so much fun.  Thanks guys!  I must admit I am a little anxious for the reintroduction tomorrow.  Dace will be fine, I am sure, but Zade will not like having a hands-off Daddy and I am bracing for a tough adapting phase.  Let's pray for the boys to adapt to this new situation quickly as well as Dallin being able to adapt to the new physical activity of getting back to normal life- sitting, walking, stairs etc.  These next couple days will the toughest for both situations. 

We love you all and are so grateful for you.  Please keep praying for us!

so glad he's home! I hope the boys adjust well. We're only home for a few days but let me know if you need anything. Wishing Dallin a speedy recovery!
