Day 16 - breaking free

After 21 days in the hospital today Dan got discharged from the BMT unit and this what he looked like

Oh yeah! We are all so happy. We are grateful to the staff of the BMT unit at the U of M Medical Center for the excellent care and to Dan’s family and friends who never left him alone by visiting, calling and praying for him. Thank you to all the day and overnight visitors who made it possible for Dan to never spend a day or night alone. Thanks to all these guys’ wives who made it possible for their husbands to spend the night at the hospital. Many of them have small children who don’t sleep through the night! Dan’s room was an office, a living room, a bedroom, a movie theater and a church. Thanks to the priests who came to celebrate Mass on the tiny round table. 

Now Dan has moved to an apartment nearby and we look forward to each day until August 21st when, God willing, Dan will get to come back home. A special thanks to Dana and Stella who have been coordinating my life and all the shifts to make sure Dan was not alone.
