We are so excited and relieved and exhausted!! Okay, double exhausted. Brendan is looking and feeling excellent and we are so happy to have him home.

This morning at the hospital, we just had to kill time waiting for all of the official discharge process. Brendan entertained us with a piano concert, we especially liked his unique playing style.

We were almost free and we got stopped at the parking garage elevators and had to go back inside for some paperwork corrections. Brendan was awfully patient about it.

Finally on the road! He wonders if Trevor has been missing him!

He can’t wait to sleep in his own soft bed!

Trevor was waiting at home. He even put on his dress shiorts (not a typo, that is shirt-shorts 🙂 )

Trevor was a blur, crawling all over trying to make sure everything was ready

He thinks Brendan needs his play mat out

He takes breaks from prep work to play on the jungle

Brendan is relieved to be home, but something isn’t right about his bed.

Trevor is in there to slap Brendan’s hand whenever he tries to scratch on his incision

Brendan is just going to boot him out!

Except then he realizes that Trevor might just come in handy

So far, everything is going smoothly. We have a lot of recovery to do and then we have to jump right back in to drug weaning and pushing Brendan on his sprinting times. The best news is that the drug doses are all the same as they were when we went in! We did not lose any ground on weaning with this surgery. Brendan’s nurse will be here tonight, so I hope to get some sleep!
