Last Day at Childrens!

This is Josh with another favorite nurse, Julie. She is also one of our night angels. Also notice on the lower left a new picture - yeppers Josh with Seattle SeaHawks - giving them some hints. Are you jealous Uncle Jeff?

This mom is crying already today - this hospital has been home and as nurses are getting off the night duty they are saying goodbye - and we are going to miss them bunches. So for them this blog will continue so they can see Josh's growth through it all.

I got a great night's rest - even watched part of a movie but I fell asleep. Bruce and Josh slept good too! Josh's first word this morning after getting a standing hug (missed those) was can we go to the gift shop today? Hmmm he takes after his mom or what!

Well now begins the busy part for us - we are scheduling follow up appointments in Bend and Portland to keep him gaining the amazing strides he has made. It is really hard to believe that we are leaving today - what a change in life this will be.

Bruce and I want to take time now to thank our amazing family for all your love and support - Mom and Dad Henry for being here the entire time and then pitching in when really needed, and just sitting back and praying. My mom and dad - continuing on and loving us through it all. Thank you for the love. Loretta - wowowow you were here when we really needed you and you have the right words to say all the time - we still quote you by telling each other to not go there and worry about what we don't know. Thank you for your gift on Friday, Josh is jazzed to have another private RN. Aunt LeMay I am glad you made the decision to come and not let me decide. Those nights of sleep are priceless and having a private RN for recovery - woohoo and knowing it was all normal. Thank you Doug and Brendon for sharing. Kathy you and your familys selfless gift of taking Sarah - what a relief to know she is so loved and being taken care of. Plus teaching her multiplication- wowow! She probably won't want to come home. Linda and Rob we love you and we know you are with us in our struggles as you have had your struggles these last two years. Linda I can't wait to give you a hug and pat your adorable bald head. Christmas is going to be super special as a gift from God to have you and Josh there. Our La Pine Family the Fields- wowowow the doggy inn calmed Captain down and that is priceless. Thanks for keeping the home front running - and helping me pay bills. Isn't it amazing that through all this world continues going and the earth is spinning.

The prayers are amazing you readers have blessed it - my PTSA buds Nicky, Nick and Bobbie thank you for keeping it going. This mom is chilling on the outside things and will be focusing on her family that is what I have learned this adventure.

Grace's Youth - thank you for your understanding and letting us focus on Josh - when we start up again it will be some serious praising. Keep on trusting in God.

Okay I have rambled enough. God Bless you all!
The Henry's
Bruce, Lori, Josh and Sarah

Only 19 days till Christmas - do you know the real reason for Christmas? If not find out - that is Josh's prayer for you!
