Someone is excited to go home.
Even the neurologist was impressed. The past 24 hours we saw a remarkable turnaround. He was sick, in pain, crying and immobile. Today, he was up and walking, playing games, moving his head around. It was like a different kid.
Cannon has read (or been read) every single one of your messages, played the videos and enjoyed the photos. When he came home, he had a full envelope of handmade cards from his classmates - we went through each one. Some of them made him laugh really hard, others were done with such care and love, and others were super creative and so impressive. We can't express how much we appreciate it all. The car ride home was a little rough. Those PA/NJ highways aren't exactly the smoothest ride but he managed a smile knowing he was headed home!
The recovery continues. His incision pretty looks good but he is still on a lot of medications (there are like 10).
Since he had a patch sewn in, he needs to really take it easy and give it time to heal. That means no running around, no roughhousing... it will be a long 6 months of letting things heal.
The hospital is a very sobering experience and being there made us realize how lucky we are. Thank you for all of your continued support and love. We felt it all along the way.
