From this...
To This!
His doctor said that he doesn't have any dietary restrictions and can go back to school on Monday. His hematocrit is still pretty low and that will take a few months to get back to normal. As a result he will get tired pretty quickly. Other than a follow up visit with his pediatrician next week and daily blood pressure medication he is good to go until he meets with the primary children's doctors in 3 months. They want to check on him once a year for the next 5 years. She doesn't think he will have any lasting effects but the high blood pressure could continue for awhile.

We were greeted by Grandma Jeri and Kate when we got home and Sarah made this gigantic welcome home sign with balloons.
The kids in our neighborhood made this sign for Hank. He also received a soccer ball from his team, which they all signed. He was feeling pretty darn special coming home, as he should. I just can't even believe everything we've been through this week. I am so grateful, happy, and relieved that everything turned out how it did. We definitely dodged some bullets and we are so fortunate to have Hank home and healthy. Nothing will change your perspective like spending a week at a children's hospital. I am forever changed. Life is such a precious gift, not to be taken for granted. There is nothing more important than health and family. It is something I will cherish everyday for the rest of my life. Again, I can't thank you all enough for the tremendous outpouring of love and concern. It means the world to my little family. I love you all so very much. It's so good to be home!!!!

Wwll I was all put together, make-up on, egg whites under my eyes to get rid of bags, and then I read your blog, and now need to start over. Crying destroys! But i can do that. I am just so happy for Hank, for you and Randy, and of course for Max. Maybe he can have his Birthday now.
This has really been the week from hell, but it did get better every day, and hopefully life will get back to , what is that, normal? Lets hope so.
Love you all, and know that I was with you, every step of the way, in my heart.
