Joe is home from the hospital....

....and most of you probably didn't even know he was in there. Other than those that are Facebook friends with one of us you would not have heard. The previous post can explain. However, he is home, I just unpacked his bag and he is relaxing on the couch in the family room talking to his mother. More specifically, listening to his mother talk.

But his escape from Duke was not a smooth one thanks to the home infusion folks. They came this afternoon to remove the now infamous home infusion ball but the infusion nurse left the needle in the port. So they are preparing to discharge him and notice the needle still in there. Well they won't release him with a needle sticking out of him. So then the question is, do they contact the home infusion people again or does a nurse on the floor remove it? After discussion they just decided to go for it and one of Joe's nurses removed the needle. Then Joe finally was able to be discharged.

He is feeling okay, just a little tired from laying around in the Emergency Dept. and his hospital room. A shower, dinner and his own bed will make all the difference. Thank you for all the prayers and good wishes. They worked. He's home!
