Yesterday, Suzanne's doctor allowed her the opportunity to come home for the day. The intention was to present the real-world obstacles and daily challenges she will be encountering when she returns home next week. It will allow her to focus her efforts in this final week at the NRH. By working with countertops, baths, the bed, crib and such she was able to practice navigating these obstacles in and out of the wheelchair. One major problem we discovered is pushing the chair through the heavy carpet pile. With the assistance of Joe, Sue completed her daily exercises at the house. Along with him, were both sets of our parents and the baby for the emotional temporary homecoming. I regretted having to drive her back to the hospital for her 8PM curfew. However the end is nigh.
