(NOTES)
BRIAN'S LAST DAY : HIS DAY OF FREEDOM
Brian had therapies in the morning: Marcy for OT, Amy for PT, and Julie for Speech.
After packing and paperwork and many farewells, Brian got to leave in the early afternoon.
We walked out the door together, carefully crossing the street, and Brian got into Kellie's van to go home to Marshall and Kellie's. He was very excited about going home. Thin, with "long" curly reddish hair and an awkward gait, he was "alive, well and awake" - and walking and talking and out of the hospital.
The following pages are from notes on calendars and other sources. When Brian was at Marshall and Kellie's, they wrote notes on his Planner calendar. I did the same when he was with us. These notes extend through the end of December.
As I was typing this brief entry, the memory, the tears, were right here with me. Relief and pain and sadness and joy. I feel them all.
