she got released early this morning F I N A L L Y the day has come meant to be, 4 months to the day of getting the transplant Just some of the emotions from today and the last few months...... Last "test" which was yesterday, nurses were crying almost the whole time Our favorite nurse Linda, can't tell you how amazing she is and how much she helped Her grandparents never thinking this day would come car ride home, unbelievable first thing she wanted to do was pet our dog Beaux, cried just to be able to pet him (she hadn't seen him in over 4 months) took this about 10 minutes ago, happy just to relax on the couch
yes for those that want to know what's next, we have home health at least for 4-5 days to see if she can handle being "at home" again. Things are not perfect, far from it. As you can read, she still gets tremors and some of her muscles have atrophied and it will take weeks/months for them to come back. She literally had to relearn how to talk again, she can talk now but very slowly and grinds her teeth a little on certain words. She is very positive and wants reassurances that "things are ok" and "im going to get through this". Still a long process to go, but forget that, this day is INCREDIBLE and I'm overwhelmed typing this out while actually sitting on the couch with my fiancee after months and months of torture and anxiety. TMB has helped a lot, from your DM's to just being able to get away from the day to day hospital stuff
Hope people are enjoying their new saline lattes today. This is awesome man, I can't imagine I'd have been as strong as everyone has been around her.

Went back through the beginning of this thread because I couldnt remember exactly what was the start of all of this, and damn I am once again amazed at the strength of this woman. and real talk, Sterling A did you ever figure out how to button your shirt properly?
Hell yeah Darian. Sterling A and fam, good on ya. Feels like we've been watching the shitshow that is the news, and we finally got to the feel good part. Good luck to you all moving forward, there are a lot of internet friends rooting for you to succeed, and I'll personally say that you made my weekend.
I love the update and I love this gif so I'm going to use it for like the 5th time in this thread because it really does convey my emotions quite well. So happy for you Sterling A
This should end up as the most liked post in the history of this board. So awesome. So happy for you guys.
My weekly Sunday Scaries started to kick in early today...then I read this update and it turned my whole day around. Live life to the fullest and attack each day. Be more like Darian.
Things are tremendous thanks for asking. We are throwing her a surprise "welcome back" party coming up and 173 people have already RSVP'd so that's a lot to plan for. Still has issues walking up and down stairs, but I'm just thankful she can walk. Going to therapy 3 times a week and she has kind of plateaud but her therapists say that's not really bad thing considering she is ahead of schedule. Speech is still a tad off, that is to be expected (considering she basically had to relearn how to talk). Settling into a routine is difficult I won't lie, I have to remember that its a miracle that she is even with us. 2019 has been a crazy ass year and I'm extremely thankful she is a strong, upbeat, awesome woman
I did add on my RSVP that I am Vegan right? I like telling people that. But seriously. Great news man, what a story.
Sterling A got any recent pics of you guys to share? Big fan of this story and glad she is doing so well!
