Only a week and a day since his surgery, Errol is home and healing. Errol’s operation was very successful and has significantly increased (and will continue to increase) the amount of oxygen in his blood. Our tremendous hope is that his more oxygen-saturated blood will give him greater muscle tone and higher cognitive function that might just give him the strength to walk, eat normal food, and perhaps even talk. We don’t really know exactly how high his blood-oxygen level will go and just exactly what it will lead to, but we can hope.
We carried Errol outside into the warm evening air and celebrated his homecoming with sparklers and Roman Candles. A dragonfly alighted on the flowers just beyond us, Cary lit Owen’s sparkler, and the dragonfly spread his wings and flew off into a sky filled with blazing sparks.

I am so so happy to see this.
A thousand thousand blessings does this picture bring to my heart - and the story of the sparklers and dragonflies. You are one Magic Family.
Thank you, and we are so very thankful for Errol's healing.
Peace,

What a great picture of you all! I am so excited that Errol has done so well and has made it home so quickly. A teacher should never tell who her favorite children are but sometimes it is easy to see. Give Errol a great big kiss and a hug from me (and a great big hug to my favorite family). I will talk to you guys sometime next week!
Love
Ms. Jennifer
