Home atlas!

Amaey got to go home today, home being Home and not Ronald McDonald House or Palo Alto appt. We had a busy day with doc meetings, pharmacy meds pick-up, and biggest of all... Clean-up. 2months in the hospital meant we had moved part of our house here.
He was okayed to leave at 3pm but they added a blood transfusion so we had to stay until 7pm. Amaey was really upset but in the big scheme of things he was super happy.

We were counting and it was 48 days after transplant and 58 days total in the hospital. Wow, no wonder we are feeling so exhausted.

The best part of this was the big ear-to-ear smile on Amaey's face. Apurva had to leave to pick Arjun from school and Pratish came to help us out so he drove us home. Amaey was enjoying the view outside the window, enjoying the sunset on 280. As we were getting to the house we saw apurva waiting outside and arjun and vicky coming out to receive Amaey. As soon as he got out of the car he ran to Arjun and gave him the biggest hug ever.

Amaey went straight to his room and happily walked around the whole house.

Today was a momentous day, coming home after transplant is a huge milestone, one we will cherish.

Purvi's and Amaey's well-wishers! Can you please let us know what is going on with Amaey? This is a question from one of those who does not know Purvi or Amaey personally but have been having them in prayers ever since I knew about them. Really worried and praying...
