		<description><![CDATA[The day has finally come! Steve left the nursing home and came home after 6 wks. of hospitalization and 9 wks. of skilled nursing care&#8230;15 wks. altogether. We took one last tour of the nursing home to say good-bye to residents and staff. It was a bittersweet day&#8230;glad to leave but sorry for those who had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today at 2:30 Steve sees the doctor for an evaluation which will determine the plan for the rest of his care. If he is declared &#8220;homebound&#8221;, he will be eligible for home health care which would greatly help me. The social worker at the nursing home said Steve is not considered homebound because I have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A date was set for Steve&#8217;s discharge from the nursing home. On Monday and Tuesday I was not feeling well and I wrestled in my sleep. On both nights I was awakened numerous times with the thought that I had to bring Steve home&#8230;that now was time and not to wait any longer. After expressing my fears and concerns to God, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Steve apparently had a touch of a flu virus that was making the rounds in the nursing home. Quite a few of the other older residents got it more severely, and it proved to be deadly for one or two of them. Thank you so much for praying for him, because he was feeling much better late this [...]]]></description>

Please pray for complete healing of the [...]]]></description>

It seems like such a long [...]]]></description>
