We came home Saturday May 26th!



 Overall it has been a great week, very busy but great!

Since the last blog so much has happen, hence the reason for no updates.  Sorry but this will get you up to speed.

Tracy went into work with me one evening last week.


Looks like she still runs the place.


It was so good to have her there with me again.

Tracy continued her therapy at Heartland until last Friday.  I prepared the house for her arrival.  As she says “He put grab bars all over the house”.  Not true only in the bathrooms.  I built a 4’ x 4’ step in the garage to allow her plenty of room to maneuver and Mike Titus put the icing on the cake with a railing fit for a Queen!  Well, Tracy is a bit of a Queen to me.

Thanks to all who visited last week and allowed me to get away.

Tracy’s sister Sarah and niece Ellen came up from Batesville Friday night for the weekend.  And what a weekend it was!

Saturday morning Tracy was discharged from Heartland and the festivities started.

Breakfast was enjoyed by all at the Breakfast Club in Madison Heights.  Followed by a Memorial Day Parade.  It had been a while since we had attended a parade, let alone a Memorial Day one and it was so much fun.  Let me take a moment to thank all of you who either serve, have served, or lost someone who gave the greatest sacrifice.  May God Bless all of you!

Afterwards Tracy and Sarah enjoyed manicures and pedicures, and grocery shopping too!  We went to Saturday Night church and returned home to a steak dinner, thank you Sarah.

Sunday was a good day for Tracy as she and Sarah went shopping while I played horrible golf with some of my bestest friends.  I know it’s not a word but that’s what we call each other.

Memorial Day was the day that we said goodbye to Sarah and Ellen, but look forward to their return.  You guys are always welcome!

Tuesday Tracy had an appointment with an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor.  It actually ended up being two appointments.  Tracy’s hearing has not been what it was and will, God Willing; get back to what it used to be.  The doctor believes that it may be the result of any or all of the following; Rituxan, IVIG Treatments or the paraneoplastic syndrome.  Hopefully as Tracy’s cognitive abilities continue to improve so will her hearing.

Wednesday, Tracy and I had a meeting with Tom Wosachlo to discuss some work issues.  Afterwards we toured an outpatient rehabilitation center and then had lunch at Five Guys.  Tracy said that she didn’t remember ever eating there before, just like she did a few weeks ago, but as soon as we walked inside she said she did and ordered like a pro and even said not to get the large fries as there is way to many of them.

Today we finally got Tracy the haircut that she has wanted for over week.  Diana Bono once again hooked Tracy up.  Thanks Diana.  Afterwards we had a late lunch with Diana.

All in all it has been a great having Tracy home, a start of a whole new journey, but a welcomed one.

I will be using the CareCalendar.org in the coming weeks to get some help with Tracy’s care.  I may put up a few hours for late next week in the morning to allow me to get into the office for a bit.  I will let you know in a future blog when I set it up.

Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and care.

God Bless and “Never Give Up… Never Ever Give Up!”
