Wifey still in the hospital - Page 7

Great news! As you plan, I would not count on the hospital being able to discharge her at 7:00 a.m. on the day of the wedding. I think they'd discharge her the day before if they thought she was well enough to make the wedding. If she stayed that extra night, she'd probably be in hospital limbo waiting for doctors to sign off on her and other wheels to creak into place. That's one more discussion you need to have.

I'll raise my glass, Rumpleminz, to a peppermint recovery. Best wishes to the bride and groom!

Starlight mint, here!

Thanks for all of the well wishes!

I can't even believe how this all went. I'm driving down to Fallbrook for the rehearsal Friday afternoon, and I get a call from the nurse.

"Ok, the doctor said he will release her now." the nurse said.

"Now?" I asked in dismay.

"Yes, in about an hour. How soon can you get her?"

"I'll have someone there in about three hours" I said with a gleem on my face.

The morning before she was unable to lift her hand to her face, and the doctor and nurses said it was highly unlikely to be able to attend the wedding. I had given up, even though the doctor said he'd try on Friday morning. But I packed her stuff just in case.

So I get to Fallbrook, and sent my son's GF (who was in the car with us) back to pick her up and bring her to the hotel in Fallbrook. It was about 5 hours of driving. T still couldn't walk and needed to be lifted from the bed to the wheelchair and fed, but she was there!

We went to the wedding the next morning, and it was wonderful! The Grand Tradition Estate is beautiful, the staff wonderful and ran everything great, and the facility fully ready to do anything you want. The wedding was lakeside at the gazebo, and a great path around the lake made for the most wonderful entrance as she and I came in on a horse drawn carridge! It was a fairy tale wedding ant 1/4 the price of a Disney wedding of the same caliber. I highly reccomend it!

And wifey was there. We all teared up and cried through it all. It was nearly the happiest day of our lifes!

We came home last night. T is doing a little better every day. She can feed herself today, and can even walk a short distance. Her voice is almost back. A nurse came to the house to see her, and everything looks good so far.

OMG! She made it! It made me cry reading it. I'm so happy she was able to be there.
