The Care Center van came to pick up Les today. Unfortunately, they didn't have the wheelchair to take him home in. Fortunately, the hospital was willing to let us borrow one and bring it back at a later date. Unfortunately, it was too wide for the lift. Fortunately, Mom had a collapsable one in the car! Whew! He made it with just a little more effort than we originally planned...I think it bothered Mom more than it bothered him!
He is in room 213 at the Care Center, which is just inside the west doors by the Chapel. He has the room to himself until they get another resident. Nancy Maack brought him a delicious chocolate malt from Cherio's that really hit the spot. (Thanks to her and to Cherio's for making him something special!) Dinner was good (they fed all of us) and he was getting ready for a visit from Mom's sister, Barb, when I left this evening.
We're not exactly sure what to expect as far as a routine, but I'm sure it will become all too familiar. Thanks for checking on him and keeping us all in your prayers.

Yea! It's got to feel good to get closer to home. Glad the chocolate malt hit the spot. Chocolate is the cure for everything! :)

One step at a time. Now you are out of the hospital getting ready for your next step to get back home. This will be much easier for Carolyn and the girls. My luminary at the RELAY FOR LIFE was for Les and a close friend Sandi. Sandi is going through the same cancers except for the brain tumor. Hang in there and believe in the power of prayer and positive thinking.
