Rounding Second and Heading Home - Maybe even Tomorrow!


 How amazing is that? Our little warrior is unbelievable. The progress he has made in the last 48 hours is astonishing. It has not been an easy victory, but he is looking so good to be victorious for his third time! He may even get to go home tomorrow, if all goes well. We are beyond excited. We are proud of him and miss Magnus and Owen - they have been in amazing care with Shelly, then Stacey and Gord (and Evan ) since last Tuesday. Above Henry is enjoying some toast and butter with Mommy.





Henry out for a stroll in the 4C care. He LOVED cruising the corridors of the hospital and not being tethered to an IV stand - Freedom re-defined !


Having fun with Thomas the Train and Mommy




Tired but Proud

Magnus and Evan at Mcdonalds - He sure sounds like he is having fun while 'on vacation' from Mommy and Daddy.



Gord and Stacey spoiling the boys and taking them to the firehouse on 101st - Gord's a firefighter so that makes him extra cool.



So happy to be roaming beyond his room - you can feel his joy!




But the victory was hard earned. Viewer discretion is advised with this video. Henry getting his JP drain and IJ LIne pulled by the surgeon. One of many times that Henry cried with desperation.... None of this has been easy. This gives you some idea of the emotions and torment of this ordeal - 3 ordeals...


It's not been easy for any of us - BUT - we have Henry, and Owen, and Magnus, and each other, and our friends and family. Our Village. Thank you all.

  2. Wonderful progress, exciting that you may be heading home tomorrow.
    All things considered Henry was pretty tolerant having those lines removed. He's so little, he's worn down with medical procedures, he can't possibly understand why. But then look how happy he was that little red car. Start saving now for 3 red sports cars in about 15 years, Hal.
