Home Again

After a text book admission and stay at the hospital, Henry came home today to play with his sisters for the afternoon. Tara and Henry arrived about 3:30pm. I met his sisters at the bus stop to keep them there as Henry wanted to pick them up with Cruckie. He went ripping around the court laughing and smiling. He was glad to be back home.

Yesterday we visited the hearing loss with the oncologist. It seems that this level of hearing loss is expected and doesn't necessarily imply what we feared. Henry may still experience a degree of loss, but nothing is certain. I feel like that's a definite theme lately.

Henry played outside for a good portion of the remaining afternoon as the weather was cold, but tolerable, and there isn't much longer before even that won't be possible. We're about to sit down for a dinner of pizza and salad, grateful to at least have vegetables as options over the limited menu of hospital food and especially grateful to be at the table together.
