Moved from the hospital!!

Today was a day of getting ready to move to Kent's son, Glen's, home. Glen is a doctor and has been involved, from the first, in this leukemia thing. Yesterday we made the decision to move home after Kent elected to have no more treatment. Kent received platelets this morning before he left the hospital. His sister Jerrie and husband, came to visit this morning. They are from Saint George. We made the move about 2:00 pm. It is amazing to see how much "stuff" a person can collect over a period of four weeks. Today was our four week marker of being in the hospital. The move home was uneventful. A hospice nurse came with oxygen and rode home with us. She will be very closely involved in Kent home care. She is very nice and has been involved in the care of the kids maternal grandparent's care this last year. They past away three months a part. Needless to say, the kids have gotten to know her very well. We're still waiting for the side rails for the hospital bed to get here so that we can get Kent's bed ready for him to get into. Chris has gone to the airport to pick up my daughter, Alison, from Arizona. She is bringing our dog back so Kent can have him here with us. She will be here until Friday. Another daughter, Nicole, will be coming in tomorrow just for the day. She wants to see Kent while he is still able to enjoy having company. Guess that is about it for the day. I didn't get much sleep the last two nights. Hopefully, I will sleep better tonight. Just knowing that I am not in the hospital, in a room with Kent, all by myself will be a comfort. Keep praying for us.
