Kyle's First Week Home - Photos from Kat and Elsie

The first night Kyle spent at home was very exciting and nerve-wracking all at once.  Elsie, Bill and I read all of the discharge papers, prescription labels and the nurse's medication schedule for Kyle and were still a bit unsure of the entire thing before going to sleep.  We wrote up a schedule for Kyle's medicine, labeled the meds and tried to make sure he was comfortable. 

I left Pittsburgh the following morning at 6am.  Elsie and Kathryn, Kyle's sister, shared some photos with me during this first week as I stayed in Charleston to catch up with my life and work in the studio.

Kyle hangs out on the porch at his home in Pittsburgh with his father, Bill, brother-in-law, Ventura, and sister, Sarah over the weekend.  Kyle's sisters both had plans to be in town for a wedding and they got to enjoy a family weekend together at home.  Photo by Kathryn Deem.
