Going Home

Dr. T said we can go home tomorrow.

Henry is doing very well. His doctors, nurses and therapists all marvel at his overall condition following such a delicate but grueling surgery. He does, however, face some difficult recovery. Besides the expected post-surgery aftermath of pain and weakness, those nerve centers that were most vulnerable to the procedure have left some residual effects. These include dizziness, fuzzy vision, some hearing loss, coordination of the left side, and difficulty swallowing. How long these linger is anyone's guess. Some, such as the hearing reduction, may be long term. But we have seen progress, albeit in teeny-tiny steps, just about every day.

With each passing day, we develop a greater understanding and appreciation of the great gift we have been given.
