Our first 24 hours home from the hospital has proven to be the best medicine he could have!
We got home around 2:30 yesterday and the rest of the day was still pretty tough, but after a good nights sleep in his own bed, without being woke up all night he seemed to be doing much better. This morning Lorin decided he needed to go to church even if just for a little while. He hadn't been for 3 weeks and said he really needed the lift. So dad helped him get shaved, showered and dressed while his small frame shook from weakness and even though his clothes were hanging on him he said he was ready to go. We brought a pillow for him to support his back and off we went. I think most of the ward was surprised to see him but very happy also as he walked slowly, (but by himself) into church. He thought he might only make it through the taking of the sacrament before needing to go, but he said he was doing fine and wanted to try and make it through all of the meeting. It was the Children's Primary program, they did a wonderful job and their words and songs touched us all. Although it was getting hard for him he insisted on making it through to the end before going home.
That is the kind of miracles that happen with all of the prayers that have been given in his behalf. Lorin only took his extra pain pills twice today and said he had a very good day. He walked quite a bit today inside and out. He is gaining more strength and said he really enjoyed the fresh air, sunshine, friends and family that visited him and his own bed!
