Homeward Bound

We have been given the official departure date, in the afternoon of;

January 28th.
We will have been away from home for 64 days.

It has been a long road but that day just marks the end of one part of this journey for us. We will still have therapies everyday and more healing to work through once we get home. The story isn't over for sure. The brain continues to dramatically heal for more than a year. We are still hopeful for a complete recovery. That day is still in the distant future but we are so thrilled with her progress so far. She has recovered more than we dared hope for, so long ago in those dark days in the PICU.

We are ecstatic about the prospects of being home. She has improved so much quicker than anyone ever thought possible. When we returned to Primary Children's Hospital it was with the hope of getting home by March!

We are thrilled! Thanks for all of your support. We have been overwhelmed by the extension of love sent our direction. There are not words to express our appreciation. All we can hope to do is in some small way find a way to pay is forward and give back all the support that has been given to us.

Stay tuned. WE ARE HOMEWARD BOUND!

  4. Wahoo!! I am just so amazed at Maddi's progress. You are also amazing Bev. You have been there for her every second. What a great mom you are. My kids are always asking how Maddi is doing, because they know that I follow your blog. You have always been so kind to us and always give us Maddi's old clothes. Please, if there is anything that we can do for you let us know! Take care and let the countdown begin for Maddi's return home : )
