Drama seems to surround Rudy even if he’s oblivious to it. Trish made it home after an uneventful trip and Rudy has been asleep almost continually since he’s been home. We had a good visit from Jane, our visiting nurse and she gave him a thorough checkover and made sure we were all clear on the discharge instructions. We’ve been giving him all of his feeds through the G-tube at OT Nicole’s suggestion to just let him relax.
Rudy’s brothers and sister are excited to have him home, but this evening we’ve been focusing a good bit of attention outside the house tonight. The wind shifted and the fires are headed our way. We don’t seem to be in any danger, but the air is such that we’ve had to close the windows making for a rare night where we wished we had air conditioning–or maybe even long for the uncomfortably cold climate in the ICU. More than anything, it’s tough to go up on the roof, see the flames and think of friends’ addresses within the rapidly growing evacuation zones. Gonna be a long night, but Ithink we might be losing sleep over something other than Rudy.
Rudy's Beat 
Praise the LordRudy is home safely and you are all together.
Praying that the fires will die down and all will be safe.

Praying for SB. How that community has taken a beating this year from fires! Praying it’s on the road to being extinguished! It’s tough to be around that when it’s happening close to you. May Rudy have another uneventful day and be at peace at home.
I’m praying for the fires to end. Also, praying for Rudy and a long stay at home this time.
I am praying like crazy that y’all are okay and that Rudy is enjoying being at home. How close are the fires to you??
More prayers your way for safety from the fires, and that you won’t have to evacuate. You don’t need that extra stress! And I hope and pray that the smoke doesn’t adversely affect Rudy’s breathing. Should you maybe ask someone about it?
