Day 6 (Saturday)

Going home! Lindsay passed all the criteria for being able to leave the hospital. Then she had the luxury of a shower. She especially loved getting her hair washed and dressing in her own clothes. She had mixed feelings about going home, and she was truly dreading the 5-hour drive home. We made her as comfortable as possible in Jeff's car, packed her with pillows, turned on the heated seats, and headed south. By the time we got home, she was very sore and miserable, but she was tough and tolerated it. We got home about 8 p.m. Thanks to Jeff and Bray for taking such good care of her! We are grateful to have her home!
