Today was the best day...the day of discharge! Mike and his heart stayed steady all night and the doctors said it was ok to go home at about noon. It took us a couple of hours to get the paper work in order and get out the door. We arrived at Patrick and Heathers with all our accumulated bags and Mike headed for the shower. It was the best shower he has ever taken. Timothy and Casey have left for Kalamazoo and we are chilling with the Uof M basketball game.
Mike says thanks for all your wonderful messages and good wishes. He will get his thoughts together and send a message to everyone in the next few days. We plan to stay in A2 for the next two days and if all is well and "regular" head back to TC on Wednesday.
Love and hugs from Kathy and as of today Mike.....he is back!

GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, Mike. See you after you have been home awhile. Kathy if you need somebody with a strong back-weak mind when you get him home, just call.
ReplyDeleteThe best news possible!!! Way to go Mike.
ReplyDeleteCU soon. :-) :-)
Hey Nolans,
ReplyDeleteThis is great news. I'm especially glad to hear about the shower part. I'm wondering who was in the shower with Mike during this best shower ever. I sure hope that it was Kathy.
I'm sorry for the lame humor but I tried to think of what Mike might say if it was me having my best shower ever.
Seriously we are delighted to hear you are back to the real world. I'm looking forward to seing you in the flesh, or more specifically in one of your cigar stained fishing shirts.

Congratulations, Mike. Good bye to your chest tubes, those middle-of-the-night wake-ups for meds, all that poking and prodding, and best of all goodbye to the catheter. I'm guessing this was the dullest two-person shower you've ever had, at least by my experience.
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside, take it easy, now, and don't overdo it. You are not a man of steel; more a man of flesh and bones. Swine flesh, now, to be precise. Isn't it great to have that behind you! Love, George and Sal
Finally busted out. Excellent. Of course Kathy knew all along when the heart goes "Pitty-Pat", the boy's in love. Kath, don't let him take too long responding to all of this otherwise he will begin to do research and we all know what that means. God bless, see you soon. Babz and DKT
ReplyDeleteGreat news Mike & the journey begins. If that was the best shower.....w/ supervision! Glad to hear you'll be heading back to TC. Look forward to talking in a few weeks. Cheers
ReplyDeleteMike, if your heart didn't re-break during that overtime in Iowa, you are probably good for at least another couple decades. See you soon. George
ReplyDeleteHave you check your left ass cheek yet?
ReplyDeleteI paid your surgeon $100 to tattoo a Notre Dame logo on your hind-quarters......
Babs tells me it's been peeking out the back side of your "cape" as you've been playing NASCAR up and down the UM hallways.
Boogity-boogity.

At least we all can agree that the appropriate place for a notre dame tatoo is the hindquarters!
