Discharge day at IMC 12th floor

July 22
I want to remember how Colby was doing on the day he was discharged from the hospital to be able to compare it in a couple of months. This is part of his final test with Lance




When a patient is discharged they let them choose a song to go home to. Colby chose "I'm going home" by Daughtry - so many things about this song is him, and his experience. They play the song over the intercom on the whole floor, pushed Colby around the halls so he could say goodbye to everyone, and all the other patients and nurses/aides/therapists cheer for you. It's a lot of fun!! (it's a video that I can't upload)
Us in the car ready to go home!!!!

When we pulled into our neighborhood there were gray balloons lining the street, and gray ribbons on everyones homes. Our neighborhood is so loving and supportive!! (Gray is the color for brain cancer)
And we had signs all over our house - inside and out!





We are so grateful for al the doctors, nurses, therapists, and staff at IMC! There will always be a special place in our hearts for them!!
I cannot express enough, how grateful I am for our family. They have all had to help in some way, mostly with our kids, and I will forever be in debt to them. Thank you for everything!!
