Duane is Home

Feb 8, 2010


From Duane's Heart Valve Journal:

After about 12 million hoops I was finally released from the hospital today around 3:30. Peggy bravely and superbly navigated I-4 through downtown Orlando and heavy traffic all the way back to Winter Haven. We are home! Obviously we have felt all the emotions--gratitude, excitement, fear, relief, peace, and joy! It’s indescribable how you feel when you are wheeled out on a wheelchair. I was overwhelmed with gratitude for the superb care and skill of Florida Hospital Orlando. It was amazing to feel the outdoors again. I hope I never forget that moment. It was a beautiful, sunny day today in central Florida around 70 degrees. Wow! Thank you, Lord, and thank you everyone for your continued support, friendship, prayers, and love! Home!
