Howie is home! After seven weeks in the hospital and TCU, we are thrilled to have him back at home. It has been a long and agonizing journey for Howie and our whole family. He made tremendous progress during the time he spent at New Harmony. He went from taking a few steps with a walker to cruising at a good clip with his cane. He is already sleeping better, last night he slept for 12 hours uninterrupted by bloodwork or checks on his vitals. This morning we spent a couple of hours with an intake nurse from Lifesprk Homecare. He will initially have nursing, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy. We don’t anticipate that he will need this service for more than a couple of weeks. He will continue to have dialysis for as long as his kidneys need it.  He (and I) are also learning about dietary restrictions and which foods and drinks are beneficial for his kidneys to recover. It is definitely a change in lifestyle and a learning experience. We still need prayers for the kidneys but we are hopeful, since his kidneys functioned normally before he became ill.
