Ronald MacDonald House was amazing for us from start to finish. Many special things happened during our time there and things were no less special as we were leaving. Before we left, they invited Magnus to the Magic Room. It was a room full of donated toys. They asked him to pick a toy for himself and one each for Henry and Owen. Here is Magnus trying to decide on his selection.
Below, Henry and Owen had a little snuggle this morning before Henry was air-lifted back to Calgary to Alberta Children's Hospital. We are so proud of all our boys, but today especially Henry. We were told to expect 2 or more weeks in Edmonton and possibly longer depending on Henry's progress. Every day, it seems, he gets so much better. In the past several days, they have talked about possible transfer, but today it became reality. We are thrilled beyond words. Magnus ran around the main floor of the house smiling when we arrived home....I think Hal and I did too :)
Henry's first visitor at his new room at ACH, Bulal (a neonatology fellow who took good care of Henry at Alberta Children's Hospital before he transferred to Edmonton for surgery. Thanks to everyone here who took such great care of our boy and got him to surgery in the best condition possible!!
Below, Henry and Owen settle in for a snuggle in Henry's new temporary digs. They seem to enjoy their cuddle time.
The following picture is in the family room on our new unit at Children's. It speaks volumes to us, but we would add "Friends" as well:
It's fantastic you're back home to Calgary so soon, especially since this means Henry's making a brilliant recovery. The coming days will be so much easier than the past 10. In spite of the circumstances it was wonderful seeing you for a few minutes last weekend, and meeting the boys. Will continue to follow via the blog and maybe see you in Calgary one of these days.
