Kay's Weekend Visits!

What a weekend Kay had! Not only did she get to go home to her own house for the day and visit with her family, but the trip went so well that Devin was given permission to take Kay up to her parent's house on Sunday!

Saturday's trip went very well. Stephen picked Kay and Devin up from the hospital and took them up to New Canaan. Bobette was nice enough to send a new outfit down for Kay's trip and she was very happy with it....we all know she's still very fashion conscious!

When Kay arrived at her house she said "Wow, this is nice". She said she felt like she had been there before but didn't completely remember it. When she saw that cards from her nieces congratulating her and Devin on their new home, she commented that she must have been there before.

Upon arriving Kay and Devin took a walk through the house and Kay quickly settled in. She loved the new blinds she had ordered. She and Devin also had their first disagreement about decorating the house, Devin commented that it could be furnished from Bob's Discount Furniture and they should install wall to wall carpeting. Kay made it clear to Devin that none of that would happen and that they would be putting down area rugs instead of wall to wall carpeting. Just because she hasn't been home in a few months doesn't mean she doesn't have any opinions. Kay did give in and let Devin hang a flat screen above the fireplace.

After the walk through Kay & Devin were able to relax for a while and take a nap in their own bed! Anything has to be better than the twin size hospital bed!

After the nap Cindy and Warren made a delicious dinner for the entire family. We're sure Kay appreciated a good home cooked meal!

On the ride back to the hospital Stephen asked that there would be no singing in the back seat which Kay immediately said she "could not make any guarantees that Devin would comply". She knows her husband!

Sunday Kay got a surprise by being able to go up to her parent's house for the day! Devin & Kay drove up to the house and again the entire family was there, even Sarah and Kayla were able to join!

Not only did Kay get to get out of the hospital but she also got to go get a manicure and pedicure! One of her favorite things!

While visiting Kay was able to cuddle up for a nap with Cindy, Sarah & Kayla and then enjoy another wonderful dinner at home....complete with dessert which she made sure was included! What's a big day out without some chocolate!

We're so happy that Kay, Devin and the family had such an amazing weekend! Just like a full time job Kay is back to physical therapy this week, but hopefully she'll be able to get out more often now! The visits have to be good for her rehabilitation also.

We have some pictures of the weekend that we will work on getting up on the website ASAP.

Please keep Kay & Devin in your thoughts and prayers. Who knows you may find them knocking on your door sometime soon!

We Love You Kay!

Kay-

Reading through this blog about your weekend brought a lot of tears to my eyes. A whole lot of tears.

I am so happy, so very happy for you, your husband and your family. Your trip home must have been unbelievable. I am so glad that you were able to have alone time with your husband.

It is so good to see that you are moving in the right direction. The healing process takes time, but you are coming along at a fast speed, thank goodness.

There are no words I can say to express how sincerely happy I am for you. I am so glad you enjoyed your special few days.

I am sure that there is more to come. I would love to see pictures.

Love,
Linda Tritto
