Tyson finally made it home last night! His discharge took a lot longer than usual and we didn't find out until 1:30pm that they were letting him go home. So by the time Brian came to get us, we had to fight with traffic on the way home, and we didn't get home until 6pm. We came home to no hydro because a transport truck had hit a hydro pole at the intersection right by our house. But that's ok, because a night at home without hydro is still a night at home :) We have a generator so we were able to run some lights and a few necessities. Braden picked up some pizza for dinner, and Merrick & Tiana stopped by too, so we had a nice dinner with almost everyone.
Tyson had a wonderful sleep in his own bed last night and will be resting for today and tomorrow for sure. His oxygen levels are fine when he's resting, but if he stands up and walks around, they dip lower. This is to be expected while he's still recovering. He doesn't ever come home from the hospital at 100% health, it always takes a bit of time for him to fully recover. His antibiotics will continue to bust up the pneumonia and he's definitely coughing a lot less today so that's good.
Thank you, once again, for all your prayers for health and healing for our son. We give praise to God for restoring Tyson's health and bringing him back home to us again. Many thanks to SickKids, the best pediatric hospital in the world. And to the multiple teams of doctors and nurses for running all the necessary tests and scans and nurturing his path back to healing and strength.
This year has certainly been a journey for Tyson, and a reminder for us, to believe in God’s healing hand and to surrender to His perfect timing and purpose.
