After Eighteen Days in the Hospital, my Husband, finally came Home Today. He is on Oxygen 24/7, something we never had before and its kind of Weird, seeing it in the House. He is very Weak and very Short of Breath, even on the Oxygen, but He is Home. I want to Thank every One again for all Your kind Words. You are the Best!

This is wonderful news.  I hope he is feeling stronger already.  Now don't forget to take care of yourself a little too.  Do you have any help with the care-taking?  :cuddle;

:grouphug; Mizar. I'm so happy that he is home. We also had to do the 24/7 oxygen thing and it takes a while to get use to the noises. Hope both of you can get some rest.  :cuddle;

Great, he is home.  We had oxygen 24/7 for George and after a couple of days it's very common.  I just walked over tubes without thinking..you will too. Hugs and love to you both.
