In the morning after speaking with Don's doctor, he informed Mac, he could go home as long as he was supervised.
"Morning Don", how you doing "?
"Fine Mac, can I be released yet"?
"You can, but only under supervision, due to your concussion". "So we want you to stay with us for a while".
"Whatever, just get me out of here".
Mac could tell Don was still very distraught, but he also knew he was a little better, because at least he was talking today. After signing the release papers, they stopped off to see Sheldon.
"How you doing this morning Sheldon"? asked Mac.
"Better thanks, You getting sprung Don"? laughed Hawkes.
"Yeah"!!! "As long as I stay with Mac and Stella".
"Good, that's really good". "You'll be fine Don, it will get easier", said Hawkes.
Meanwhile.....
Once Mac had Don home, he got him comfortable in bed.
"Anything you need Don"? asked Mac.
"No"! "I'm fine right now" , thanks Mac.
"Your welcome". "If you need me just call, you're right near everything". "The bottom room is the best, it's closest to the kitchen, laughed Mac.
Don smiled, Mac thought to himself, that's a good start.
Meanwhile......
Danny heard DJ gabbing away in his crib. Letting Lindsay sleep, he took DJ down for breakfast.
"There you go little man, are you hungry"?
Danny got down the Cheerio's, and cut up some fresh fruit, along with soft toast. Sitting down with DJ, he heard the phone ring.
"Hello"! said Danny.
"Hey Danny, it's Mac. "Just wanted to let you know, Don is out of the Hospital, and staying with us for a while".
"How is he Mac"?
"He's a little better, it will take time".
"What about Hawkes, when does he get out"? asked Danny.
"Not for a while yet, he hasen't even started Physio".
"Okay then, I'll stop by the Hospital, and see Hawkes, then I'll come by and see Don".
"Okay Danny, bye".

"Hi"!!, "Hi"!! said the little voice to Don.
