1st day home

Yesterday was hectic with unloading and unpacking everything. Steve had a lot of visitors too.

The ambulance was very warm--so Steve was uncomfortable for the ride. He had a fever of 101 last night and this morning his temp is still slightly elevated. Joe's cousin Donald, who is a doctor, is going to be with them for a few days, helping them go over things. MaryAnn and Joe are still trying to find a nurse which is vital since Steve needs around-the-clock attention.

Steve's chair hasn't arrived yet, so he isn't be able to see the rest of his living space, including the deluxe, flat screen TV that Kris got him. That's probably okay. One day at a time. The move was a massive change and so some bed rest might be just perfect for right now.
