Home (and a major miracle)

Doctors hinted Friday that Gerry might be ready to go home today, and Debbie panicked.
It was up to three days early, based on the doctor's initial estimate, and four days after brain just seemed too soon.
Yet a neurosurgeon cleared him to leave, and a speech pathologist said that although he's still having difficulty moving the right side of his face, he's on track to fully recover.
So at about 3 p.m., a "transport team" wheeled Gerry out to the family minivan, and Debbie and Gerry drove home.
On the way out, Debbie stopped by the cashier's desk to settle the bill. She expected a 20 percent copay to add up to many thousands of dollars -- and a payment plan that could last years.
Instead, the cashier informed her that at some unknown point in the past, the family's insurance plan had been changed. There was no copay. The entire hospital stay was covered.
Praise God!
Gerry is settled in a bed set up on the main floor of the house. He's able to walk with the aid of a walker, and can make it up and down stairs. He said that he's happy (but only on one side of his face, he joked). He's able to carry on normal conversation and seems to be fully awake, after days of being affected by anesthesia.
Visitors are welcome to stop by. Gerry would love to see you!
