Ahhh...the sound of silence. Henry is sleeping very peacefully beside me, and Paul has gone to Outback to pick up some dinner.
Was a good day today. Henry is becoming more his old 'self' every moment. Still pretty wobbly and can't really sit up or walk unassisted, but thinks he can. He made me take him to the cabinet where we have stored all of our snacks and drinks to try to open it today ~ he still thinks he is starving. He has eaten well all day ~ light meals of jello, green beans and peaches. And he's lovin' the Sprite!
He hasn't had any vomiting or real pain that we can tell all day. He has only had 2 doses of 'regular' Tylenol so far! Wow....sort of crazy to me!
I went to the laundry room today to wash our clothes, and as I was about to come back into our room I saw some people looking at our door. When I walked up, they asked if this was my room...of course, I answered 'yes'. The sweet woman introduced herself as 'Ashley's mom', and I just knew right away... Most of you know about 'Henry's girls' at Cross Therapy, and Ashley just happens to be just one of them! Apparently, her parents live about an hour from here in Wynne, AR. Ashley's mother and brother took the hour-long drive (along with 'Douglas, the stuffed dog') to come pay a visit to Henry and us. This might not sound like a big deal on a 'regular' day under 'regular' circumstances, but to us it was like another angel coming from Heaven just to remind us what we need to know...Henry is under His hand, and we are loved. The thoughtful kindness of everyone has been rather overwhelming to Paul and me. Every single phone call, email, blog post and personal visit is a bright, shining light in our days. THANK YOU.....for keeping us all going.
Paul is home now with the steak! More updates tomorrow.....Nite nite.
Happy days....
