Home Again, Home Again, Jiggitty Jig

Finally, the day we have all been waiting for has come! The only thing holding Nonnie back from going home this morning, would have been a fever. There was no way that was going to happen, judging by the amount of prayers that went out for her this week! Papa returned back to UCLA at 9:30 A.M. to help get packed up and checked out of the hospital. They returned back to their home at around 1 P.M. this afternoon.

The bone marrow results will not be ready until next week, and for now, they do not want to think about the results. She will have a home health nurse stop by twice a week to change the dressing on her PICC line and take blood, vitals, etc. Nonnie is going to meet with her doctor at the clinic later next week to discuss her case and then go back to UCLA for the next treatment after 2 weeks. 

Today, we all went out to Nonnie and Papa's house to spend the afternoon with them. You can tell that she feels very strong and is thankful to be home. It is so awesome to see her watch every move that her grandkids make, and just sit there and smile. The blog title is what Nonnie used to say to the kids when they returned home. What an incredible way to start out the summer!

  1. Linda: You have been an inspiration in more ways than you know. As for me, I am slowly learning to not sweat the small stuff, surround myself with POSITIVE thinkers, ignore negativity, appreciate good health and clean up my act where I can make improvements, and believe in the power of prayer more than ever!!! God is good and we will all be able to witness a miracle beyond our wildest dreams!
    And, if we don't hear from Jeff as often during this two weeks, we'll assume that all is well away from UCLA. Enjoy!
    Love, Kathi
