Well, hopefully our Henry-boy is going to get some good rest tonight. He has been wide awake and quite restless since waking up from the surgery. I think he is like his Mommy...codeine makes his face itch! However, the morphine and valium seem to send him right into la-la land!
Holly has convinced Paul and I that we need to go get some real sleep before we try to proceed with the rest of our week. So she is snuggled up next to Henry in his ICU suite and they are both happily tucked in.... Exhaustion is slowly setting in for all of us, but we are going to try to get at least a few hours of good sleep before Henry wakes up ready to play ball tomorrow! hee hee!
He has a big day ahead starting in the morning. MRI and bone density scan scheduled for 8:00. Then we will hopefully be moved into a 'regular' room on the 5th floor.
Signing off for tonight. One last prayer today that all this works for sweet Henry. We all felt great comfort today with so much love and prayers coming our way. Thank you so much. It was a day of huge anticipation, anxiety and a strange, calm peace. Love to all, Shelley and Paul
Happy days....

I have been walking around today singing a song from my childhood in the Episcopal Church...
"Tha-a-ank you Lord for this fine day....Tha-a-ank you Lord for this fine day.....Tha-a-ank you Lord for this fine day....right where we are.....
A-a-allelujah praise the Lord, A-a-allelujah praise the Lord....A-a-allelujah praise the Lord...right where we are....."
It has come to me organically and I know the reason why.....
Today was an awesome day....
Bon nuit mes amis,

Uncle Paul and Aunt Sarah are praying for normal brain activity today! We love you, Paul and Shelley and we know that God has you both in His hands, too- for comfort, peace and continued strength. We have thanked Him for sending us all a surgeon that knows and loves Him, too. That was stellar!!
Prayers are still coming your way today! xo,Alison
Oh, your precious boy, soooooooooooo amazing, so protected, so blessed!!!! We are so thankful that this incredible day is behind you- we love you so! We are here for WHATEVER you need! Nick and Ashlea
I hope you slept like babies last night! You have had so much on your shoulders (for months) and hopefully some of that melted off the moment you saw Henry after surgery! We are continuing to pray for all of you and that this WORKS better than they ever imagined! Much love coming your way today...Robyn and fam
Our God is an Awesome God!!
Prayers continuing today. Thanks for all the great updates.

Hi Shelley and Paul, This is an amazing site, and a wonderful testament to your faith. Thanks for sharing it with me! You and Henry are the focus of lots of prayers and good wishes from all your "family" here in S.C. We are all so thankful that Henry's surgery went so well and are continuing to pray for a complete success. I love you guys! Ruth
Shelley and Paul -
Check out Hope for Henry.
We'd like to send something to Henry to keep him entertained as he gets better.
Not exactly sure how the comments work, but I am hoping you can email me back directly.
If this doesn't allow you to click through to me, please go to the "Contact" page on the website and send me a note.
We are thinking of your son and your family.
Regards,
Allen
