Day 45: Going Home- April 27, 2012

It's hard to believe that today Scott was able to go home!! 
How thankful and blessed we truly are. 
To look back and see how far Scott has come in 45 days bring me to tears.
  

We packed up early so that we could get out of the hospital as soon as we were given the go ahead. We said many goodbyes to the team that worked with Scott. I can't even tell you how many wonderful and special people work at Barrow's. We are luck that CTN is just across the street from Barrows so that we can stop in and say hello to all our old friends. 

We snapped a few shots while waiting for the discharge paperwork to be finished. 


Being Silly Together :)



Headed out the doors as a "free" man!! 
Scott left Neuro Rehab without needing any prescribed medications or assistive devices!! 
The only thing that was on his list was Tylenol as needed.
That is a true miracle!

Here is a the last video that we will take in the hospital :) 

Things we did after discharge:
- Get Scott's Glasses Adjusted
- Went to Our Favorite Thai Place for Lunch
- Went Home to Find Many Wonderful Surprises
Like a FULL Pantry and Refrigerator!! 
(Thanks to all the friends and neighbors for doing that for us)
- Scott also got an Extra Big Early Birthday Surprise... an iPad.
-We Went on a few Walks 
- Ate Popcorn 
- Played Sudoku 
- Had a Wonderful Dinner from a Fabulous Neighbor (Thank You to the Lines Family)
- Skyped Family


Now it's on to a new stage of life for us!! We are excited to begin this new phase of 
Scott's Return!! 

A thumbs up and a "Wahoo" to you all!! We love you and are so thankful for everything you have done for us!! We continue to be awed at all the love you have shown for us. 

We hope to one day pay it forward!! 

Now we are off to get some sleep in our own bed tonight. 

Love, Scott & Ashley

  9. I'm so happy for you both to have Scott home! And on no meds! That's amazing! I'm just so happy that things are going so well. And I know that they will just continue to get better. We pray for you daily!
    I read that Scott is tired a lot and I just wanted to share that Rob was the same way. He actually would come home from rehab and take a nap almost everyday for a few weeks. It was exhausting both physically and mentally.
    Rob got an iPad too and loves it. It's been very useful and a great tool.
    I hope this week brings great things with rehab.
    Love, Mercedi
