Going Home

Wow, we're going home. I'm so relieved. Mario had great labs this morning ate a big breakfast and with no IV's in his arms for the first time in over a month, he went to rounds, fully clothed and smiling. A bit of a set up on my part :) But this kid (and this mom) deserve to be home now. Thank you all for you continued support and encouragement. We got through this long experience on the strength you shared with us. This is really just the beginning but what a wonderful beginning it is! Love to all, Phoebe

p.s. we'll have quite a bit going on at home as we get settled, get Mario's new schedule of meds all set, etc. we have to do his dressing changes and meds on our own now so please understand if you don't hear from us this weekend/next week. we'll be getting ourselves back into our routine.

I just learned how to comment like this from my friend that is here. She is more computer savy than I . CONGRATULATIONS! You are home now as you read this I am sure. I am glad that God answered your prayer to be home in time for Mario's first birthday! May God continue to bless you as you nurse Mario at home. Love, Val, Kevin and Jacob

Congratulations!! We are so happy for all of you!! What a wonderful 1st birthday present for Mario. And you made me cry again!!!! It has been such a long hard road for all of you and not over yet, but what a long way you have come in the past 1 1/2 weeks. We will be thinking of you over the next weekend and week as you get settled back in to home life with your family. How great is that going to feel? Please let us know when you can have visits again or if Eva wants to do the zoo trip.

All our love, Mary and Jody

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIO!!
