MITCHELL IS HOME!

Yes, it is true! Mitchell is home. We saw the doctor around 9:00 this morning and he gave his OK for Mitchell to be released! We got home around 10:30. Mitchell said that the two "M"'s lives are now complete...Mitchell and Molly (our dog). I'll add another "M" - MOM! The ride home went better than I expected...we only had to stop once in Hudsonville to change positions.

It is amazing what "being home" does for a person's recovery. Mitchell was wondering why he is comfortable and feeling better. I told him that while the hospital is a nice place, you are just not as relaxed and comfortable there. When I went to drop off Mitchell's prescriptions, he asked me if I could pick up a vanilla frosty from Wendy's on my way back and he ate half of it! He is resting on the couch with Molly at his side. It is SO good to be home, even if there is laundry to be done, the house to clean, and all that stuff!

It would probably be better if Mitchell doesn't have visitors today...getting rest and settled in will be enough, I think. We'll see about tomorrow. Maybe give a call before you might think on visiting.

Thanks again!

    Welcome home buddy! That's got to be so relieving to be back on the home turf and to now be on this side of the whole ordeal and on the road to recovery. Still praying for you.

    Pam, thanks for all the most excellent updates. A cool way to track with the progress. Hope you too experience some good rest.

    Matt

    Hey Mitch! Glad to hear that you are home. Mrs. Ensink and I are here at school talking about the upcoming theatre year, and I have to say that you need to be recovered by then because we need you again! But take it easy until then. Continuing to pray for quick and easy recovery.
    Peace like a River, Mosterd

    How great that Mitchell is back home. We thank God with you and look forward to hearing of his continued healing and that all is "going" well.
