Doctors, nurses and hospital staff lined the hallway of the Valley Regional Hospital on Tuesday morning.
KENTVILLE, N.S. -- It wasn't your typical discharge, but Al Poirier isn't your typical patient."I was one of the lucky ones," said Poirier.
"It's a very big day. I haven't seen him since Dec. 31, when I dropped him off at the airport, so it's gonna be exciting," said Jenifer Poirier, Al and Deborah's daughter. "It was a huge roller-coaster because there was one point, where he didn't have any hope. The doctors didn't have any hope for him, so it's unbelievable that he has made his way home to us," said Jenifer Poirier.
