Luke celebrated New Year's Day by having his last day of in-patient therapies. He got some workout exercises to do at home for his left leg. He won't have any out-patient physical therapy until he gets his prosthetic leg. We don't have a schedule yet for any out-patient occupational therapy.
First thing this morning, Paula said good-bye and I took her to the airport.
This evening we loaded up his jeep with things that he's collected during his stays at the medical center and the rehab center, then went and picked up his dog, Boston, took him home and got things set up for his return home. He is able to get around the house really well with his wheel chair. The only places it won't fit in is the bathroom and kitchen, so he will be using the walker in those rooms.
Tomorrow we will get his discharge orders and prescriptions, pack up his clothes and toiletries and head for home. We will be stopping at the DMV to pick up his handicap plate. He is very excited to be finally going home.

Luke, I am sure the opportunity to get back home is exciting and we praise God for another major step in your recovery. We continue to pray for you as you are constantly on our hearts and in our thoughts. Take care and keep up with your workout exercises.

Congratulations Luke! So excited to hear that you are headed home. We continue to lift you up in prayer both here at home and with our (your!) church family. The Hustons
Such great news but I know they come with much hesitation and worry of the unknowns. I am so proud of how well Luke has done. I know it has meant a lot for him to have his mom and dad out there. I will continue to pray that this transition as well as those to come will go smoothly.
So glad you're going home -- I think about you all the time, Luke!
YEAH!! Congrats on going home! The B.P. in the Imperial Valley are thinking about you and wish you well!!
I'm very glad to hear Luke is finally going home. I read this blog every day and remember Luke and his family in my prayers. I will continue to prayer for you, Luke and your recovery. Keep up the good work.
So many new things for the new year! I pray a smooth transition to life at home. God has been so faithful through it all!
Continuing to keep all of you in my prayers.
