On our way home!

Kyle remains true to form. Yesterday, just a day after neurosurgery, Kyle had recovered enough to be released from Seattle Children's! But since he has a check-up with Dr. Olson this afternoon (Wednesday) and then starts his next round of the clinical trial chemo, we opted to stay at "grammie and grampie's" for a night. 

After chemo we are hitting the road back to Bellingham because Kyle is anxious to get home! He is feeling pretty good today although he is sore from the surgery and still a bit wobbly when he walks around. He spent the morning painting with his grammie. Then took a good, long nap after a late second breakfast. He has really enjoyed reading the notes that have been posted to his blog and is hoping to find some cards in the mailbox when he gets home. And I think he is also looking forward to playing Webkinz on the computer...the internet connection at grammie's house isn't fast enough for many of the games! He misses his dogs too!

We still aren't sure how long it will be before Kyle is ready to head back to school, but I am sure that he will be pushing the issue after the weekend!

Thanks for checking in and if you have time to write a note I know that Kyle appreciates it.

Hi Kyle,

Wow! You are so amazing! I can't believe you are already home! Well, actually I can, it is you after all. We are getting excited to come and visit with you. We will give you and your mom a call tomorrow and see if you are up for some company. Stay strong our friend.

We love you lots.

Kyle and family- I know your mom through Tracy C. I had a feeling that I needed to check your blog today and I'm glad I did because it looks like today was a huge day for you. You are such a brave person and it is so apparent that your family is crazy about you. I see that you and your brother started school at Wade King. My daughter Naomi is in kindergarten there and I hope we run into you all sometime soon around the school. We send you happy healing wishes.

Hey Kylie,
It's just your proud Grammie writing to let
you know how much you continue to amaze
all of us. Wow....I could not believe how brave
you have been all week. Yesterday, after many
tries to find your vein in both your hands, when you had really had enough vein poking after this
week, you bravely sat while they finally found
a vein in you arm. Great job!!! I miss you already.
Lots and lots of love...Grammie

Hey Kyle,
I am glad you are back at school. I really missed you. Thank you for showing me caring when I fell down today. Your mama was nice to me too. Can you believe she kissed me. :) Your scar was pretty cool to see and touch. So glad that you are back.

Kylie-

You are the bravest kid we know. Your mom is also the bravest mom we know. Hopefully, we can see you soon. If you aren't going to the game this Saturday, maybe we could watch Jake and the Huskies kick some Stanford bootie!

Lots of love to you guys. Tina, Ryan, Kehr, and Emma
