Day 309: Christmas Come Early!

We are home! We have been blessed that Cristian has recovered enough that it is safe for him to come home and we can all be together in time for Christmas. This mornings blood tests showed continued improvement in his immune system kicking in and the doctors felt there was no need to keep us there longer. After 15 days, we are free!

On the way home from the hospital we stopped to pick up Leena from grandmas house and they were very happy to see each other. Leena let out a loud “hey, it’s booboo” as soon as she saw him. Once we arrived home they both ran off together to play. You could tell that they missed each other. You could also tell that Cristian missed all of his toys, because he spent the rest of the day playing in there.

We are set to go back next week for a quick test of his bloodwork to confirm he is continuing to recover. This trip will also tell us if we are able to see any family before 2022 without putting Cristian at risk of infection. We aren’t going to do anything that would result in another multi week stay at the hospital.

Thank God for all he is doing and we wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
