Hey everyone. Finally time for me to update the blog. I apologize for not updating in several days, but it’s been a very busy couple of days. Well, I’ve got some very exciting news: Holly was released from the hospital on Wednesday! Well it seemed to take most of the day, but we were finally released around 7:30 that evening. I know she was extremely happy to be out of the hospital, but we still have to stay at the guest center until Saturday but should be tomorrow. But she had an appointment with her doctor this morning, at the clinic, and everything was going well. He said that she looked very good and nice with her makeup and clothes on. But it’s definitely wonderful to have her back to a real person and not a person in a gown, or in a hospital bed for that matter. At least I get to hold her at night. That is something I definitely missed in the last two weeks. Really, but we will be catching a flight out tomorrow morning at 11:50 AM and will not be getting back into Little Rock till later in the evening. I hope everything goes well with the weather in Arkansas. Quite bad right now. They are getting a lot of snow. Well this will probably be one of my last posts in the journal for a while, as I’m sure Holly will be updating it herself. I know she will be glad to get back to her computer and braille display. I look forward to keeping you guys updated and hope I did a good job, I know I haven’t updated as frequently as she probably would have, but I do my best. I know Holly would like me to say this once again, thank everyone for all their support and prayers. It is greatly appreciated and very helpful to all of us as a family. We try to stick together is a close-knit family network, and I know that it helps Holly to know that we love there for her. Well until next time, I hope you enjoyed everything I’ve updated you on, and it has been at least somewhat understandable with this voice recognition software. It doesn’t always get everything correct that I say, but hopefully you will get the gist of it. It takes much more time to go through and edit word by word and character by character, so I figure I’ll try to leave it as it is and hopefully you’ll get the gist of it. Everyone take care, and hopefully the next update will be from Arkansas our hometown. Thanks once again. Take care.

Way to go, Holly! Thank you for the updates, Edward. I wish you all safe travels and continued healing and strength. I am looking forward to Holly’s voice on her blog, but we really appreciate your updates. Love and hugs

That is just the most awesome news ever. So do you have to zoom back here to get the ABI turned on, or can someone do it closer to home?
Oh we appreciate all the work you had to do to keep us in the loop. You’re only human, and you had more pressing things to deal with, like, oh, say, making sure your wife was ok. We’re just happy there was a loop to be kept in.
Hopefully your trip back to Arkansas is smooth sailing.

I’m so glad to hear she has been released from the hospital. Have a safe flight on your journey home tomorrow, and thank you so much for keeping us updated with details regarding the surgery and recovery process. Holly, if you’re reading this, you’re a very strong and courageous woman with all that you have gone through. an inspiration to many. I am proud of you. Lots of love to all of you from me and my Guide Dog Ditra.
