Dorothy said it best in the classic movie, The Wizard of Oz, when she said,
"There's no place like home."
It is so amazing to have Dad home, and he is so happy to be here.
Last night the whole family gathered at the house for a special Family Home Evening.
Dad was in a lot of pain, but look- he's WALKING, with a whole procession behind him cheering him on!
Dad talked to the Grandkids, and bore his testimony of the power of prayer and fasting, and the power of the Priesthood. He spoke of gratitude for His Savior and Heavenly Father. It was a very special night.
When we told Zachary "Look! Grandpa is home!"
He squealed with joy and clapped his hands... "YAY!"
Even though Stephen has been released from the hospital, and is making an incredibly speedy recovery, he is still in a lot of pain. The pain block that was keeping his pain manageable has started to wear off, but he has an appointment on Thursday to go back for another procedure where the doctor will actually inject medication at each of the injury sites. It isn't at strong as the pain block, but it should last longer.
Even as I am typing this, I am still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that not only is my dad alive, he is home! We are amazed every day as we are witnessing his miraculous recovery first hand.
We are so grateful for the love and support of his family, friends, co-workers, students, neighbors and ward members- there seems to be no end to your kindness.
We love you!
