Posted for Sheri...
Quick update…. I was able to bring Wally home today – about 11:30. I honestly don’t think the doctors could have kept him there another day. I arrived at the hospital at about 9:00 and found him sitting on the bed, freshly showered, dressed (shoes and all) and anxious to go home! He had to wait an hour for one more intravenous antibiotic so he asked the nurse if he could squeeze the bag to make it drip faster. :)
Looking back on the last month (I can’t tell you if it feels like years or just days), there have been so many blessings that God has granted our family even though it seems that things aren’t always working in our favor regarding Wally’s health. We were blessed by the doctors and hospital staff and feel that God gave us some very special physicians to watch over Wally and I honestly believe he was a blessing to them by his strong faith and peace in God. He is motivated to fight this cancer, at peace with God’s will for his life, and thankful for the many blessings that God has provided our family. Many of those blessings have come through all of you. Thank you once again for your continued prayers, thank you for the touching cards and notes, thank you for your visits, and thank you for all of your help with meals and transportation for the kids. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we have an uphill battle to fight. Praise God that He is bigger than cancer. We continue to pray for His miraculous healing hand upon Wally.

Dear Wally----God wants only the best for you! That is what Larry and I are praying for. God bless and keep you and your family, Sherry Grout
Wally and Sheri, wish we lived closer so visits were more frequent, but what's far more important and valuable to you is His promise, "I will never leave you nor forsake you. Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." We have no problem for which His presence is not full solution; no need for which Jesus' presence is not full provision. We are of all people most blessed, regardless of health, sickness, wealth, poverty. Christ is all and in all. "You are My beloved Son with whom I am well pleased." If we are in Him, and God is well pleased, what do we lack? Hallelujah !!

I would have been waiting with my shoes on as well to leave the hospital. Sanitized food just doesn't seem very appealing. There is nothing like being home and surrounded in the loving arms of family and friends. It's great to hear that you are back home!
oh, by the way, is Walter your real name? or is this another persona that you pick up some place?
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers
I can hear Wally saying "Squeeze the bag please so I can go now".
Cal. is a long way away but' Debbie and I are right there with you guys.
I heard we may get to have you brighten up sunny Cal this weekend.If so I guess I'll let you hug me and give Deb a hi-five because that's the kinda guy I am. What I really want to read is the nurse's blog after you left the hospital. The amazing stories that Mr. Wally left behind because that's the kinda guy you are.
Wally and family,
Best, best wishes!
My prayers are with you and your family.
