Kyle was discharged from the hospital shortly after lunch today. Our first stop was to see the kids. Max was down for a nap, but Cate was SO excited to see her daddy. She was really bubbly and had just finished cutting paper hearts she decorated and stickered for Kyle. He was so touched by her present for him. We visited for about an hour and Cate was ready for her nap. I finally remembered to bring over her sleeping bag I promised to bring her way back on Saturday night and again last night. I think she took a good rest in her sleeping bag.
Once home, Kyle got cleaned up then laid down for a nap while I worked on, well, work. Mom sent me home with a container of her homemade chicken noodle soup, so we enjoyed a quiet dinner at home, which was really nice. His first blood test at home was in the normal range. Yay!
To the right are all of the blood testing gadgets Kyle gets to try out to find a favorite...
Since we missed Max earlier, Kyle wanted to go back to see the kids again. Max giggled and gave him a big hug around the legs. Jolene was there was well, so we caught up on how her trip to Colorado with the Bassetts went.
Once the kids were in their bath (they're staying with my parents one more night), we went to Target to pick up a few things and we are now settled in for the evening and going to bed very soon. We both still have some sleep to catch up on.
Tomorrow we are both still at home. Kyle is still feeling some fatigue, so we want to ease him back into the day-to-day. We also want to ensure his blood sugar continues to remain where it should be and then we should be good to get back to work.
The kids will be coming home tomorrow. I think they'll be very happy to be home. So are we.

Glad everyone is now home together. I hope things continue to go well for you all.
I'm sure things will go well.
Look for more light-hearted day-to-day stories in the future...
Like light-heartedly beating him across the butt when he tries to eat a doughnut?
Seriously, it seems like writing about it was something you needed to do and served a purpose for you in terms of stress relief at a time you surely needed it. Don't worry about what to write. Just write!
