Alyson had no idea of the surprise that Pauline and Manny for her when she woke up this morning. She knew she was going home, but she had no idea who would be travelling with her.
After all the check outs by the nurses, and doctors, another special guest was brought into her room. Her dog Griffin.
At noon, she breathed the last of that hospital air, and was wheeled outside to the smells and sounds she had not seen or heard in 25 days. No more blood pressure cuffs, no more IV's, no more shots, no more nurses and no more doctors. No more beeping monitors. What she wanted to do was to go to Dairy Queen for some ice cream.
So the first stop was Dairy Queen. Where she got her ice cream.Because all of their belongings are still at camp, they went back to camp so that they could pack it all up. Alyson had a nap. Then she went for a walk outside at camp. Alyson seems to be getting stronger every hour.
They went out for supper with Mrs Murphy, and Tony and Pam, the remaining staff at camp. Everyone else has gone home.
Then they went and walked around a store.
Getting back to camp at 9:00pm, Alyson had kept up very well, but was very tired again. It had been a long day for her. It has been a very long time coming for the rest of us. They are spending the night at camp.
They should be back home in Dunedin tomorrow.
This is not the last update I will do.
Come back tomorrow for the latest on Alyson's Road to Recovery.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.
Finally figured out how to do this after so many attempts! AND SO GLAD THAT THE WORST SEEMS TO BE OVER FOR ALYEE! She's a living miracle and we celebrate that! Why do bad things happen to good people? Perhaps to bring our attention to what HE CAN do in bringing about healing! And to bring our family closer together in the uniting of our thoughts and prayers. God is Great, God is Good and we thank Him for ALL HIS watchful care.
