We are free!


Bum deal - there is not wireless here at Ronald McDonald so I can not post more pictures till home - but we are free. Plus a break from posting grades - will have to do this weekend.

Josh is doing amazing! He has been walking around and hanging most of day. Feeling good and no headache - we are making him rest in the room now. He was on his DS too - woohoo great strides.

He is not eat Thursday after midnight - just in case the swelling comes back and he has to have a shunt put in - but no one is thinking that will happen. (Plus Josh is throwing a fit thinking of not eating again) So we have the CAT scan on Friday morning and then he gets the 24 staples removed from his head and we are free to fly to Salem.

It was a fun day putting everything away and cleaning up the room. Our highlight was seeing Dr. Patrik as we were checking out and Josh getting a huge hug - we are going to miss you big time Dr. Patrik - still think you need to be part of the family.

Then we saw Dr. Ojemann on our way out - he was very pleased as with Patrik on Josh's improvement - this kid is certainly a miracle kid - we knew it from birth and this just confirms it.

We are just going to hang here and enjoy activities at the house. We have a long haul ahead but Josh is making plans for playing basketball next winter - and when he makes up his mind you can not keep him down.

What a blessing Seattle Children's hospital is - thank you to everyone we are so blessed to have been here. God Bless You all!

Love the Henrys
Bruce, Lori, Josh and Sarah

It's so wonderful to hear that you're doing so well, Josh! I'm so glad that you'll be coming back to La Pine soon!
Take care and keep us posted.
