Thanks Carla and Gina, we are leaving out today aroud 2ish to drive back home. I can honestly say I don't miss this Pittsburgh weather at all from when I went to school here.
We are hoping that he will be moved out of ICU today before we leave, but if not then it will definitely be on Tuesday because he is doing really well. All the doctors staff and nurses are amazed at how fast he is recovering...I telll you it's determination is what it is on his part. I mean seriously yesterday he was like back to being himself before he went on the oxygen and what not last May, seriously it was just wonderful. I feel much better with my mom leaving with my brother and I to drive back home that he is doing really well.
My mom will fly back on Thursday and then come back home on Monday...actually that has been their schedule since they made a temperary move to Pitsburgh on 1-21, but on he gets out of the hospital which he will be in for a month, and then goes to rehab which will be another month, my mom won't be able to come home at all. He should be coming home for good around April if all goes well.
All I'm saying to everyone is if you aren't a donor, you should seriously think about becoming one. I know that we all changed our minds back last year when we found that he was going to have to have a transplant. For lungs the donor has to be the same height and weight of the patient and in his case the donor was like a perfect fit per the surgeon, it just really makes you think when it's happening to you. I mean what if this man had checked no that he wanted to donate his organs...so seriously if you aren't a donor all I'm asking you to do is think about it.:)
