Great news . . . Bryan was able to come home today. He had a fairly good sleep last night and the doctors thought he was good enough to be discharged. Obviously having surgery on an aneurysm that hasn't burst is the preferred way to do things! So, seven weeks and two surgeries later, Bryan got to say good bye to his "home away from home" hopefully for good. Although the General is a nice hospital and the medical staff was great, I hope we don't find ourselves back at that place for a long, long time.
Bryan still has a long way to go but recovery has already been better than last time. He still needs to really take it easy and force himself to rest and relax . . . which isn't easy. Hopefully with the World Cup coming up, it won't be too hard for him to sit around on the couch!
I was hoping to post a picture of Bryan from when he came home from the hospital today but I couldn't download it for some reason. So you'll just have to picture him in his orange World Cup of Soccer shirt. Go Netherlands Go! (And Go Bryan Go!)
