August 14- he's home!
Wounded but triumphant, our heroes return to their castles. We got out of the hospital late yesterday, and stayed in New Hampshire last night with D&A. This morning we drove south, picked up the dog, and made our way home, where I spent the day in something of a stupor, dazed from the events of the last week. But after dinner we ventured out for a walk - Matthew made it a full half-mile! The biggest goal for the next few days is to see his appetite return to normal. He needs extra calories (especially protein) in order to heal and regain strength, but his appetite is somewhat inhibited. So I'm on the look out for high protein meals to tempt him with. Tim was released from the hospital early this afternoon, and is now resting at home, hopefully in as much comfort as can be had.
