William four days before his transplant
And now!
Look at my rosey cheeks!
So much energy to play
There is lots to say about settling back home after the transplant and so many months away. I will blog about finding my floor (eventually!) under the layers of semi unpacked hospital bags, the struggles with getting William's complex medication regime prescribed, the emotional highs and lows of sorting though all the TPN bits and pieces and IV antibiotics that serve to remind how poorly William was before his transplant. I will get on to all of this but, for now, William's smiles say all that needs to be said!

Fab photos - brilliant to see William looking so well and at home. Px
Well done you all! Smiles are great - a good barometer of progress and a vital encouragement for those of us who get to enjoy them. Recognise the lack of floor space under half opened bags...we still have some of those from a year ago! (Can't blame all that on hospitals!)
Wonder if the(gentle) bulldozers have moved across those lines of tape outside William's dinosaur cubicle yet?!! Let's hope he's well away from it all for a good long time to come.
Enjoy rebuilding family life, weaving through the slalom of obstacles and diversions back towards each other. May it be a delightful discovery of grace.

Hi Sarah,
I just got back from Japan last night and it was fantastic to hear that Wills is home! I'm so pleased that your family are all back together again. The first few weeks at home after a transplant are tricky with getting everything sorted out, but soon things will get easier. The photos are great.
Hugs,
