The Dawgs ice hockey team just sent Will a giant care package full of Max Domi (Type I diabetes NHL Arizona Coyotes Hockey player) and Orioles gear along with a cool car coloring book (I watched him color in the Honda Odyssey and read every single vehicle listed in the book...pretty sure he liked it!) The signed Domi gear...well, Will may hate me for posting this publicly later in his life, but for now, how could I resist.

Celebratory dance for all the garb

First up to color - Honda Odyssey

Will is coming along amazingly well in his Occupational and Physical Therapy sessions at Mt. Washington. He's not sleeping so well at night and extremely busy during the day so he doesn't get a chance to nap either. The visitors, cards and gifts have been overwhelming...thank you EVERYONE for making his hospital stay more bearable. He's definitely ready to be home but he still continues to work hard.

So many photos / videos to choose from during the past week. I'll start with a video:

And now I'll add a few photos from today and his first time seeing Flurry since he left for surgery on 5/1 (it was quite an emotional reunion for Will - he was so happy to see Flurry, he broke-down in tears of joy).

All - I have to take a bit of respite from all things electronic and reality-based. Purple J and I will be off to Costa Rica early in the morning without any laptops...only cell phones for emergencies. I'll be back on the 22nd or 23rd with a post. In the meantime, enjoy these recent family pics. I can't wait to see the progress upon our return! Keep it up, Will!

Below is a video taken last night, marking ten days post-surgery. This is truly remarkable.

Will told me today, via text, that he had a good Physical Therapy session but no schoolwork. That's all I got out him before I can only assume his iPad time ended :)

And just when I think the boy had enough cards and presents sent his way, he had yet another delivery today. Thank you to Ella and Avery, Great Aunt Ann, The Cavalry Church, Aunt Carol, Cousin Beth and MedOne Pharmacy. Wow.
