Arriving at the Ronald McDonald House...

Wow, what a difference 24hrs. can do. Yesterday, I was thinking, there is NO WAY we are leaving tomorrow. But Connor had a great night sleep and ate like a champ for breakfast. Then, PT came in one last time before discharge and Connor had a totally different mind set today. He was more willing to get dressed, up out of bed and walk to the wheelchair without hesitation. You could see the determination on his face today. WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU, CONNOR! Leaving the Peds unit was a great feeling but saying goodbye to all the wonderful nurses and staff was bitter sweet. They truly care about the kids in the Peds unit and their families. They almost become a part of your family in such a short time. We will never forget the way they cared for all of us.
So, the arrival at RMH was exciting for Connor. He knew there was a game room and a mini movie theatre waiting for him, along with lots of kids to hang out with. We spent the rest of the day getting settled. This place is amazing with all the donations and volunteer service. Connor was even learning to wheel himself around in his wheelchair. Since he had such a big day with discharge, we chose to have a movie night and just relax.
Thank you so much for all the cards, texts, gifts, emails, and phone calls. Although, it is tough for us to get back to you, we want you to know how much we appreciate your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes. It's so nice to check our text and have encouraging messages at just the right times. Love to all!!!
