Ernie will be going home tomorrow .... day 77. We have been busy getting the bathroom and house accessible for him. Sandie has been putting in countless hours in the yard so he can enjoy some time outside. We are all beyond excited to have him home. Dad is still doing dialysis, but we are hoping his levels will keep on going down and that his kidney issues were just "conditional" and no permanent dialysis will be needed. Thank you to everyone who has come by, sent cards, and well wishes/prayers. It is absolutely incredible how far he has come. My Mom used to talk about how she would never get across the river to the other side of town. Well ... she is more than ready to not be crossing the river and is looking forward to staying home with Dad. Much love to all of you for going on this crazy journey with us. - Michael
