Re: Santa delivered early to our house!

[Guest guest]

anne,

So glad to hear that Daryl is home and in the arms of his loving

family. My wish for you is to have a Joyful Holiday and that Daryl

keeps on improving in the warm love light that you and the family

provide for him. Hug that handsome man for us and tell him to eat

hardy because we need him strong and ready for what lays ahead for

him. Good News to hear on this Christmas Eve.

Love

Janet

> Finally! After more time than I care to think about, Daryl came

home yesterday! He arrived safely yesterday afternoon and I just

can't tell you how thrilled and relieved I am. He's looking GREAT!

Now that the horrible nasogastric tube is out, he's eating like a

horse! Just in a few hours yesterday he ate biscuits, fresh summer

fruit, steak, potatoes and asparagus for dinner. I think he's

loving the flavours after months of bland hospital food.

> Daryl is just so glad to be home, he walked round and around just

taking everything in. Secretly I think he was convinced that he

might never see home again. " Everything looks so different! " he

kept saying yesterday. Well, yes, the garden is blooming, there are

small changes to the house, the Christmas Tree is up and there are

gifts under it, " Welcome Home " banners everywhere! etc, etc.

> Just to be able to roll over in bed last night and put my arm

around him was enough to almost make me cry. Yes, I cried tears of

joy yesterday as he sat on the bed I never thought he'd sit on again.

> I'm writing this early morning, noone's awake but me. I wonder

what time he'll wake today? And he won't have to fight the hospital

staff to keep hold of his breakfast tray for longer than 20 minutes

anymore!

> Merry Christmas everyone! And yes, miracles do happen, I can

swear to that!
