Friday, right before Rosie and had to leave for the airport, David was done with an ortho appointment at TOSH. The driver from Aspen Ridge said that David could come to the house for a few minutes. He was overcome with joy, as he hasn’t been to the house since a week before the accident. The wheelchair transfer was a little tricky, and required three of us to get him up the front steps and into the house.
Barbara was all smiles to have him home for a few minutes!
Mystic was more than happy to take an immediate perch on dad’s leg. She’s the only family member that hasn’t seen him in 6 weeks, and was slunking around his leg and the wheelchair for the whole visit.
I’m so glad that I got to be there for David’s first trip home. It’s still going to be a long time (3-5 weeks before he can come home for good), but hopefully his drivers for future appointments will be gracious enough to let him visit the house occasionally.
