He's Home!!!

Rubin was finally released today around 12:30. We just got home after picking Brayden up from his parents and filling his EIGHT prescriptions. He is feeling great. When I got to the hospital to pick him up, he was standing in his room with everything packed up and was practically singing and dancing. I'm pretty sure that if the nurse had taken 5 minutes longer he just would have ripped the IV out of his arm and left on his own. They gave him a copy of all of his medical records so he can take them to a new doctor when he leaves. The only thing we don't have is the biopsy result that confirms that he has Crohn's. I am getting ready to sort through his medications and read the instructions to compile a spreadsheet for him. One has to be taken an hour before he eats, another has to be taken on a full stomach, one can't have any exposure to alcohol (not just drinking but like salad dressings, wine sauces and even aftershave - no exposure at all), and one of the steroids is like 4 pills a day for 2 weeks, then 3 pills for a week, etc until he weans himself off. Thank you for all of your prayers! I am so excited to have my hubby home!!!
