WE'RE HOME
Yippee!!! We got home a few minutes ago and Hyde's sleeping on the sofa! Sorry i didn't update earlier but we had kind of a rough evening/night/morning with blood pressure, itching, and pain for Hyde - so didn't want to jinx anything until we were on the way home. Hyde didn't get too much sleep last night - think the rash and the surgery finally caught up with him and he was fussing pretty much every 5 min or so but seems better today - and like's taking his medicines at home bettr than in the hospital - so hopefully we can keep up with Tylenol/Benadryl for him. His BP's still aren't great - but we can adjust that from home - think this will be a little hairy for a while. Other than that - things are good - Ruthie is VERY excited for us all being home and so are Bill and I.
Thanks so much for all the thoughts and prayers - hopefully Hyde will be up and running fairly soon and definitely in good shape to eat cotton candy to his heart's content in April at the hike.
Love you all -
Bill, Phyllis, Ruth, and Hyde

Yay, I am so happy you guys got to go home. Isn't it magical to sleep in your own bed! Hope things with Hyde get better now that he is on his own turf.

Whoo Hooooo- so happy that you're all back home! It truly seems that everyone heals so much faster in their own little nest. Skyler's BPs flutuated for about 4 weeks or so after beginning Soliris, which meant frequent BP med adjustments - almost as if their little bodies take a bit of time to recalibrate to the new situation. Wishing you all the best ....
