Update 26

We are home. The dr said he was happy enough with his progress that we were allowed to take him home last night. Praises to all that is good! He is now cozy and set up on a medical reclining chair in the TV room. Thank you to young Robbie for all of the help and sweet support in moving him and to Trudy for the worlds slowest and most careful drive up this dauntingly bumpy hill. But mostly thanks to Kareen for sitting behind him to hold his head and saying so many prayers, and cringing at each road surface undulation, that we likely had an envoy of angels floating us home. Bonus special thanks to Jim for keeping such a decently stocked bar, my nerves certainly required some serious rehydration.

He is very sore but determined that this is where he is going to heal fully and regain his strength in this very special place and life they have made for themselves here.
