It's November 23rd, a day after Thanksgiving and I have everything to be thankful for. Tom was admitted under the understanding that he would probably be in here for three to five weeks!!!! He has been in for only 2 1/2 weeks!!! He seems to constantly defy expectations on length of stay, in a good way.
My family came down to visit and my mother made a super delicious Thanksgiving meal (as always) and my dad made his fantastic apple pie! We had dinner at our house and then made a plate for Tom and brought the apple pie to visit at the hospital. He actually ate about half of it, which was amazing compared to his appetite the rest of the week!
So relieved to have him coming home. One, everything is better at home. Two, it will be nice to be to sleep in my own bed and have our dog to cuddle with.
Brother number one was deemed not a marrow match. That was quite the downer, however they reassure us that if brother two is also not a match, the registry should be no problem. Reassurance or not, it was still a super blow to the ego and we were a bit down about it yesterday.
Really thankful for all of the help we've had with Izzy these last couple of weeks so that I could spend my time at the hospital with Tom, instead of driving back and forth.
Best get packing, as we packed for 3-5 weeks and the trips to the car to load up our stuff is about to really suck. BUT if it means he's coming home, I will happily make 20 trips to the car!
