Post Op - Day 12, Home Sweet Home!

Today we had a follow-up appointment with Dr. Fraser and his team.  Since it was a holiday, the TCH Heart Center was closed but the sweet nurses for Dr. Fraser came in anyway to do rounds and to see Field so we could go home.  The appointment went very well and we got the thumbs up to head home.  Wahooo!

the cardiac floor before we were discharged on Saturday, January 15th.

We are sitting in the chairs in front of our room on the cardiac floor.  
We called this our "front porch" and sat out there each 
evening to watch the action in the hallway.  Ha!

Discharged, loaded up, and ready to get out of there!

Our time in Houston was blessed for so many reasons, but I have to say we couldn't get out of there fast enough!  I think Field felt the same way as he was cranky until we hit I10 and then he passed out for almost the entire trip home.  All is well with Field and he continues to amaze us at how quickly he has recovered.  What a hero he is!

One last check-up with the wonderful nurses Amy and Jennifer.  LOVE them!

This is the man - Dr. Fraser.  We are so thankful for him.  

Goodbye TCH Heart Center!  See you in a few years!

We are so thrilled to be home and back in our own beds again.  Just 2 weeks ago, we weren't sure what the next few weeks would look like and we surely didn't expect Field to recover so quickly and so well.  But we trusted in Him and we gave our fears to the Lord.  He is good - all the time.

But those who hope in the Lord 
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
                                  Isaiah 40:31

Our wonderful family and friends decorated 
the house and stocked the fridge and pantry 
with snacks, drinks, and a home cooked meal.  Thank you!

Field at dinner tonight.  
Happy to be back in his usual routine again!

Home sweet home feels oh so good!
