Journal entry by Lyndsey Donnerberg —
Herb was finally discharged this afternoon, it has been a waiting game every day! The embolization procedure was a success and his scans and blood work came back good today. It has been a long and stressful week for both he and Joan.
Joan is getting around without the walker and even going up and down the stairs, slowly and with the railing, but it is amazing! She is one tough cookie, let me tell you! She is still on a pureed diet, but, enjoyed a piece of banana bread yesterday :) She has a follow-up visit this week with the trauma surgeon who put her face back together the night of the attack, so, she hopes to learn about the next steps in her recovery.
We are so hopeful that today marks a positive uptick in both Joan and Herb's healing. Being back home together is extremely comforting to them as you might imagine.
Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers!
