We are Home!!!

I can't believe that I'm typing from home. I feel so blessed. My baby is just doing wonderful. I have just been overwhelmed with happiness. I'm so grateful that things have gone so amazingly. I'm so proud to be this sweet special boy's Mommy.

Evan is doing well. He is sore, which makes it difficult to walk or move much on his own and also makes it difficult for us to move him without causing him pain. We try to cradle him like a baby to get from the bed to the floor or from the floor to the bed. We cannot pick him up under his arms and when picking him up have to support his shoulders. He is able to walk and feels good sitting or laying down. We just had a little bath and it was interesting trying to pick up a 50 lb. boy from the tub - I should have some big muscles after this.

He is still having bladder issues. They expect it to get better and have given him 3 more days of the meds. If this has not cleared by then he will need to see a urologist.

I still can't believe that we are here. I'll have to post pictures just so you can see how wonderful he looks. He is on no heart meds... I can't believe that.

Thank you all for checking in on our little guy. For leaving messages to encourage us and letting us know you were praying.
Thank you to our parents and family for being there with us and loving our baby so much. Thank you for sending cards and balloons to brighten his day.
Special Thanks to our parents for being there and for staying with us to visit and bring snacks and anything else you thought we would need. Mamaw - thanks for coming back the next day and singing the song Evan wanted you to come sing.
Thank you Munc for always being there to calm our nerves and being that quiet calm support that we needed - and for playing 3 rounds of Backyardigans racing. Thank's to your whole family for the visits and food.
Thank you Kelley and family for being such a support system by staying with us, visiting everyday and bringing smiles - you don't know how much that means to us.
Thank you Brave Heart family for everything - God has lead us together and I'm so thankful for the friendships we have made. The huge sign with handprints brought a smile and Evan was very proud to announce to his Dr.'s and nurses that his Brave Heart friends brought that for him.
Stephanie and Carrie - thank you for the food... you knew I wouldn't leave the room. Stephanie and Jason... thanks for being such wonderful friends.
Thanks Shanna for stopping by even though you were leaving the next morning for Disney and hadn't yet packed.
Thank you Fitzgerald family for the food and cards.
Thank you Uncle Davy and Aunt Melynda for always letting us know that you care and always being there for us.
Thank you good Angie and bad Angie for bringing us lunch as we ran out the door.
Thank you Bro. Jeff for praying and checking in on us.
Thank you NBCP for your prayers - sorry we missed you Ms. Debbie.

Thank you God for the gift of this special Braveheart. We are so blessed.
