Dillon's labs from clinic this week were great. The only issue was he lost 1.2 kg (2.5 pounds) this week....darn it. The surgery, the excitement of Sean and Luca arriving, the anxiety of going home, coupled with his first needle poke lab draw without his port or Broviac this week is causing a definite altered appetite.
Today we went to an indoor trampoline park. Talk about some serious aerobic activity!!! Dillon was quite active and had fun with his limited energy reserves. Luca jumped until he was bright red and completely out of breath....and then he jumped some more. That kid has the stamina of a wild mustang. Sean and I got in on the fun too. I will post photos but you have to wait a few days because I already packed up the computer.
Dillon is geared up for the big game....literally. He has purchased several Celtics items and plans on wearing the whole outfit tonight. I will post photos of that too..in a few days.
We have packed everything that we don't need in the next 18 hours....the pile of stuff is sizable so Sean gets to work his "magic" loading the Land Cruiser in the morning. He is a master puzzle creator and never fails to amaze me with how much stuff he cram into a vehicle.
We are over the moon excited to be returning home. We have been in Denver for 6 full months and 3 months in and out of UNM....so Big D and I haven't really lived at home for 9 months. There are apprehensions on all of our parts...but we will work as a loving team to help support each family member through their transition with our reunited family.
Another leg of the journey is complete!!!
I'm so glad to hear that you are coming home.... I'm not sure if you remember me but I coached Dillon a couple of summers ago man could he play ball. I just heard about Dillon's journey and I'm very happy he is doing great... Dillon you are indeed a fighter and I hope to see your fight on the court again soon...Lots of prayers your way and for a safe ride home..:)

Can't believe he has lost weight this past week. Once home it's got to be priority number one for sure to put food in the mouth!! Travel safely and remember to keep us posted once in a while. Do I even have to say love and prayers coming that way? Well...they are...Love Aunt Marilyn
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that this part of the journey is ending! And with such an exciting event! I am so thankful and proud to call you all family. This was a journey that some people might have collapsed under, but you Shari, Dillon, Luca and cousin Sean have seen it through admirably. So thankful to God for blessing you with the strength and peace to more than survive this bump in your lives. May He continue to watch over you and give you strength for this last leg of the journey. Much love to you all!
