Home is good

UPDATE (10pm-ish): The phrase, "Let's go get a snow cone" was enough to motivate Paul to get up and go this evening. Afterward we ended up at Wal-Mart. Yes, buying Lego. He is tolerating all his meds, etc. well through his G-button. He even said the magic words today, "I'm hungry," but I think it will be a while before we see any bona fide eating. Still, it's encouraging. We are hearing from a lot of you out there; the guys are having fun collecting the flattened pennys, coins and other cool stuff you're sending. It's like Christmas around here when you go the mailbox. (-;

Paul was happy to get home yesterday. He does not have much energy right now, and he is very wary of moving around much because he is afraid his stomach might hurt (around the surgery site). We have his pain under control on a relatively low dose of meds, and he has begun to get food and meds through his G-button. We are still learning what equipment and supplies works best, and at times it has been frustrating. There is a lot to learn. We have had some help from some nurses that have visited the house to help us out. Keep your prayers going.
