Hi there - this is Paul again:
Dr. Frederick Boop, whom is the Chief of Pediatric Nuerosurgery here came by this morning to visit. He was filling in for Dr. Einhaus, who told us yesterday she was taking a couple days off to go camping with her kids. Dr. Boop asked if Herny had taken a poop, to which I replied, "Yes, Boop, there has been poop". Nah, I didn't really say that, but I think there might be a Dr. Suess book in there somewhere. He did in fact, ask if Henry pooped, these docs seem to have some infatuation with it. And the answer to that question is, in fact, yes.
OK, enough about BM's, Dr. Wheless came by later on in the morning, and said Henry could take out his heploc - the IV in his right hand, AND that he can go home in the morning! Henry tossed the football a little with W, and even said "ball" for him - we had sort of prepped Henry to show off a little for W so we could get the green light - and it worked. So we are just hanging out in 5 South, waiting for sunrise tomorrow. We did have a little excitement last night when the fire alarm went off 'bout 4 a.m. - but it was a false alarm.
All is good here, Henry is really back to his old self, and we are ready to see Lane & Sam! (who tried to kill their Grandma yesterday with a trip to Silver Dollar City) Thanks Grandma!
Hey everyone, Shelley here...Henry just got finished taking his first bath since Wednesday. He had a great time trying to give me a heart-attack trying to brush his hair with the toothbrush. He can't get his head wet at all until Thursday, so he thinks it's pretty funny watching me panic over every splash of water! I'll take this kind of worrying anyday ~ no head-dropping of any sort so far today....YAYYYY!!!!
Signing off for now. I think we're gonna go for a stroll in the wagon. Love to everyone,
Happy days....

This site is awesome. I was just wondering what was going on, and I remembered Henry's blog!! Thanks for keeping us all updated, and I was glad to hear the news today, that you go home tomorrow!! You two are my heroes, I am so impressed with how you have performed when Henry needed you too! Our family will continue to send good vibes, through Jesus, to young Henry and all the Omars....Jay & Shelly (P50 OUT)
WOW, God is good!! Tears of joys come up when I think of that sweet boy taking a bath and teasing his momma-WITH NO HEAD DROPS! Ashley called to tell me that she heard first hand how great Henry looks and that he was really "BUSY", that made me smile. Can't wait to see him! Be safe coming home!

I have quietly asked Melissa, Jen L. and Ashlea et al to give me updates. I may be a new friend but I share in your joy. Your son Henry is such a precious gift. His eyes share a comforting spirit that surpasses his condition and shines right through the sky. We are truly blessed to share this journey, though not easy, with you. Once again, we may be new friends but we are here for the long haul.
Jennifer, Andreas and Isabella Met
