We're finally home! I am so relieved. I meant to get a picture of Bobby leaving the hospital but when the time actually came we were so preoccupied with paperwork and information that I completely forgot. I was sad for a few moments once I realized I had forgotten, but it was short lived. :) With the amount of nausea he had been having, I was terrified that he might have another Vagal episode during the 3 1/2 hour trip home. Or that his bowels might decide that was the time they'd like to start working. However, he did fabulous. Minimal pain, no nausea, and only a fart or two. LoL. A friend had told him to take a pillow with him for the ride home to use as a barrier between the seat belt and his stomach. He actually ended up using it to hug over rough spots in the road. It was very helpful to him. We stopped halfway through our trip to get gas and he got out to do a little walking. Every 15 minutes or so he would do calve exercises to help keep good circulation. He was a trooper through it all, and it was a lot easier than we thought the ride would be. We are ready to get some uninterrupted sleep!Wednesday, March 23, 2016
