Today went a little different than planned. We left Mitchell today thinking Arin was coming home on Thursday. Little did we know that once again, she was ahead of schedule. The phone rang on the way up, telling us Arin could come home tonight! We reached the hospital, walked into Arin's room, and found that she had everything packed and was ready to go! After a few hugs from the staff , well wishes to and from residents, and some cheerful goodbyes, Arin walked out the front door of the facility. Of course, she wanted to make a few stops on her way home. Like every teenage girl, Arin wanted to stop at Gasoline Alley, drop in on a few friends, and head down the road to Cracker Barrel. Now, she’s setting on the couch with her cat beside her. With the warmth of the wood stove, it just feels so right. The days ahead are full of adjustments and challenges for Arin. Right now, our goal is to ease her back into a normal daily routine. She appreciates everyone’s thoughts, prayers and well wishes. Her recovery has been, it the words of her doctor, miraculous…and we all know who’s in charge of miracles. As Arin concludes this chapter in her life, we intend to make this our last post on Carepages. We have cherished your messages and thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts and prayers. Your words have been very therapeutic to both of us and especially to Arin. Please continue to keep her in your prayers. Right now, nothing seems impossible. Arin is home! God Bless, Rob, Alda and Arin McIntosh
