Well, we busted out of MD Anderson yesterday just in time for 5:00 traffic! However, we didn't mind. We just wanted to go home.

We got home around 9:00 and were in bed, our own bed, by 9:30 and sound asleep by 9:31! There's no place like home!

Jeff is once again doing very well. After a 6 hour brain surgery, he was home 2 days later. I will tell you that all that surgery has not made hime talk or move any faster than he ever did! He's the same old Jeff. He continues to amaze the doctors and medical staff with his stoic strength and determination. He has surprised me with the way he has stepped in and is telling the doctors what HE wants to do. He is helping determine his own path. Pretty cool.

We have so many people to thank for their prayers, good wishes, and support, and for pitching in where we need it. You may not get a thank you note, but you know how very much we appreciate you all.

We will be home for 2 weeks to recuperate, then back to Houston to determine the next course of action. That's all we really know at this time. Jeff feels like he is in the hands of the best medical professionals available and he is smart enough to follow their lead, so we will know more in two weeks. Until then, he will work to build back his strength and get ready for the next phase.

I will tell you, he did get in a little trouble by the occupational therapist for plowing and planting at the ranch in South Texas last weekend! She told him that "no driving" meant tractors too! There is just so much you can tell a guy to do. At some point he's going to draw the line, and that line was with the tractor!

Hopefully you won't hear from me for 2 weeks, but I promise to let you know whenever we have something new to tell.

Love to all.

  2. Barrie, you are doing a great job with this blog. It is an excellent picture of Jeff.
    What a guy. We do appreciate reading your updates. We have several friends that ask about him and are praying for all of you. Just know that we are praying without ceasing like it says in
    I Thessalonians 5:17 and will continue to do that. We love you all.
