Get out the beer, wine (non-alcoholic) and confetti!  Elie is coming home! 

Either tomorrow or Tuesday, looks like.  They talked about sending him to a rehab for a few days, but NO, thank you very much.  Rehabs are notorious for more mysterious diseases than the jungles of Borneo, so what needs to be done will be done at home and if I need help I know how to ask for it.  He is really making incredible progress, walking with a walker, getting out of bed on his own, putting on clothing and his mind appears to be quite clear.  A little forgetful here and there, but nothing that seems substantial.

I can't thank you all enough for going on this journey with me.  The prayers, the cards and notes, the food and bears but mostly, just knowing that you all value Elie so much (okay, some of you actually love him) is certainly part of what kept ME going.

I don't know how soon blogging will be on his mind, but I will either be back with an update, or he will be back his big, bad self.

With love and gratitude.
