Seeing him home brings tears of joy to my eyes!!!!!!!! It''s been a long road, but now he''s home and will get stronger with each day. Cut off those hospital bracelets!!! You can put them in a scrap book for later. He looks terrific, can''t wait to visit him at home and not that dang hospital!!!!! Big HUGS and KISSES!!!!
This thread has provided the most unbelievable amount of comfort and support.
Logging on everyday to these wonderful thoughts and prayers was just so amazing for this weary mom.
Angello''s journey seems to have come to an end but it really is the beginning. When I was leaving the hospital today I was remembering when we first arrived in July 2003 and how I never thought we would get this far.
Back then it was just to get through the surgeries; get him through the three and then everything will be just fine.
But honestly I don''t know what is ahead for Angello. These procedures are so tricky; nothing is black and white.
He may still need a heart transplant or pace maker down the line.
Going into this surgery I thought he would be in the hospital for maybe two weeks tops. Well with seven weeks behind us
I can say: you really just never know.
Having him home now is wonderful but still very scary. He''s still a sick little boy; his oxygen is very low.
With time I hope to see him improve. He''s so happy to be home.
Oh, Nan...you truly have to take it one day at a time! It is forced on you! Today he is home...and he looks GREAT! Let us hope (and pray) that all will work out with one method of treatment or another and that he grows up healthy and strong!
What an amazing little angel you have there. he looks so much better already just being home!!! Here''s to continued recovery and a GOOD NIGHT''s SLEEP for you, Nan! What a roller coaster ride for you.
Nan, i''ve been following along.. i''m so glad to hear Angello is home surrounded by his loving family. You and your family are in my thoughts! He''s such a cutie-pie!
Oh wow. What a darling. I just want to give him a big hug but I am sure he has had enough (little boys prefer tumbles right?) ....... mum may need this one?
I send you the best cyber > I can !
My most positive vibes and love coming Nan and Angellos way!
Oh Nan! I am so glad Angello is home. How did his siblings react? Were they all over him with hugs and kisses? My prayers for Angello will continue. I know the Lord has a plan and that things will work out. *hugs*
prayers for angello will continue.
Please Nan keep us updated on any develpments.
Your little fighter has touched a lot of hearts around the world and we are pulling and praying for him.
Welcome home Angelo! I do think that being home will help him tremendously. I understand your worries and fears but the simple truth is that none of us truly know what will happen to any of us from day to day. We just have to try and stay positive, focused and grateful for each and every day we have.
He''s young . . . and doesn''t know enough to worry about himself. He just knows to smile and be happy - that is probably good medicine in and of itself. Surrounded by family and love I am sure he will grow stronger everyday.
You have been a trooper - for all of us with children - we try to imagine ourselves in your shoes. It is overwhelming to think of and you have done it with such grace. Hats off to you lady - you really are special!
Although I haven''t been posting lately, I wanted to say I have been checking in on Angello''s progress regularly and I am so happy to hear he is home with his family.
I am sure he will continue to heal and thrive surrounded by his loved ones and Nan, I hope that you also get lots more rest now that you have your sweet baby back in the fold.
I am so happy to see Angello home with his loving family. He seems to handle things so well and can still smile and be playful after all he has been through. He is amazing.
I hope there will be great improvement once he is home and away form the depressing hopsital conditons.
Best of luck and I hope all goes well for you from now on.
