From the caring bridge journal they were keeping:

Well, after reading my wonderful wife's very 'descriptive' journal from yesterday, its quite fun to be typing this from my couch. Yep, I'm home! The doctors came in at 6am this morning and said they were ready for me to leave them alone. Can't describe how good it feels. What was supposed to be 7-10 days turned into 21 so home has a whole new meaning.
I am feeling good and so thankful for all of your prayers. I am sure the other half may have more to say but wanted you to hear from me first.
Love to all,
David

Happy Valentine's Day,
We are so thankful to be home. To sleep in our own bed, to use our own shower to sit on the couch and to pet our dog is each one a gift. Driving David home was like transporting a prisoner of war. For 21 days he had not seen the outside world. His eyes had to adjust to real sunlight as opposed to florescent light, his sense of smell had to take in the smell of fresh air as opposed to a scent we both hope we never have to endure again - the smell of things no human should have to live with.
There is so much more to recover from than what we anticipated when he went in for the surgery. David has lost a lot of weight so he even looks a little like a prisoner of war. Recovering his appetite will take time. He is going up and down the stairs - although his BF Geoff was hoping he would need to carry him up and down the stairs. Geoff reasoned if he had to carry David up the stairs it would be the one favor David could never repay. Sorry Geoff you will still owe David for now.
Speaking of owe, we are forever in your debt for all your prayers, cards, gifts and encouragement. Love everyone around you well today and everyday.
Prayers: Praise for the healing that is on going and no complications here at home. Pray his wound continues to heal at a supernatural rate. Pray his strength will return. Pray his appetite and ability to digest food will return. Pray our family can catch up and adjust.
We love you all!
