Home Sweet Home

Well, we did it... we made it home tonight! They discharged Nick from the hospital just before 5 pm tonight. Kind of a funny thing though, Nick didn't want to go home. He was too afraid he would hurt and so he begged to just lay there in his hospital bed. We finally convinced him and he seems to be feeling a lot better. He still can't move much at all, and is VERY sensitive to the touch, but hopefully it's nothing a few weeks won't heal. And in a day or so he can even shower. (no baths for a while, but it'll be nice to get him all washed off). We're only using Ibuprofen and Tylenol now too, which is also good. We're glad to have him off the narcotics.
We hope that the kinks have been worked through on the ICD. The other night (after Nick had received a shock earlier in the day) he was falling asleep and I was sitting next to him. You know how when you fall asleep sometimes your body does those uncontrollable twitches? Well his did and I caught it out of the corner of my eye and my heart about leapt out of my chest fearing he had just received another shock. It's kind of funny now, and NOT, at the same time.
We're just so glad to be home. Even though it's nice to be so close to so many specialists who care so much about him, it's just nice to be HOME again- even with the fatigue from the last week setting in!
We can't thank everyone enough for all your prayers. Heavenly Father has been so good to us. What a wonderful time of year to remember it.
