We made it through the first week!  Huzzah!  It's been a week of figuring out what works and what doesn't work; of meeting the home health RN and PT as well as following up with our PCP and pulmonologist (first outing with oxygen out of thr house).  There were also multiple arrangements to be made with the insurance, pharmacy and oxygen supplier.  Plus throw in two birthdays and that makes for one busy week.  It seems like that bubble we've been living in has popped and we're running to catch up with life.
Sam celebrated his 50th birthday on Thursday and Emma's 20th birthday is today.  Obviously, we were all very excited to have him home and to be able to celebrate both birthdays together.  A good friend decorated the yard and dropped off a cake, our congregation made a very touching video wishing Sam and Emma happy birthday and Sam's work team arranged for a drive-by parade with a fire truck heading up the parade!
Sam is doing well.  He's pretty much the same as when he was discharged except he's moving more easily and can stand up better on his own.  He still is easily exhausted and has a lot of lung spasms which causes him to cough severely.
Thank you so very much to everyone who has send cards, texts, emails, messages, donated, signed up for MealTrain, prayed for us or even just sent a good vibe our way.  We will never be able to express how touched we have been throughout this journey.  We feel every single prayer and are eternally grateful.
