Great Morning to you all,
Myles and I are safely home. The five and a half hour drive was pretty tough on Myles. Lots of padding and pillows. We didn't talk much on the way home as we both agreed that everything was feeling like a dream. As we drove along the lake on our last stretch home we saw our horses and donkeys in our fields (that had turned so green) and we both got very excited. Aaron was sitting in the driveway waiting for us. Lots of very gentle hugs!!! When we walked into the house it was like we were seeing it for the first time. We both just kept looking around at everything in silence. Myles couldn't wait to see his dog "Ged", but he could only do it through the door as Ged weighs over 140#'s and loves his master. We were very worried that he would knock buggies over. Myles took a nap as his leg got very swollen from the drive home (the one with the blood clots).
As I started to unload all of medical supplies that we need to take care of Myles' (four large bags) . I kept looking at the clock as it was approaching 4:30 in the afternoon and I was anticipating Myles getting off the bus from school. I felt that since I was home that the last 36 days was just a horrific terrible nightmare and I had finally awoken. I became very sad that all this has not been the worst nightmare of my life but reality. I instantly become full of happiness and joy that we survived our reality and my son was home with us. Thank you all for your prayers to make this happen.
I apologize to all that called yesterday and we did not answer. Being home, the phone ringing, unpacking, all of Myles dressing changes, shots, etc..... led for a wonderful hectic day. We will begin the uphill climb today to figure out how to get everything back in place. Myles' school (he does not want to be held back in the seventh grade), his medical insurance which he hit his lifetime max of one million about two weeks ago, hemotologist to check on his blood clots and hemophilia, rehabilitation therapist (four hours a day) and all the dressing changes. Wow, I am tired from today and it's only 5:30 in the morning. Myles slept pretty good last night for the first time in over a month. We rented a bed for my room so I can be there if he needs me in the night (I think that I would have separation anxiety if he slept in his own room). I know this is a long post but I AM SO EXCITED TO BE HOME WITH MY SON!!!!!
I will continue to post (as time allows) our progress of this new beginning.
Love to you all, and thanks again from the bottom of my family's heart and soul.

Sherry and Myles,
That is the best news ever.
Just take this one step at a time. If you don't answer the phone or call people back right away, they will understand. Reading what you have to do each day explains everything.
You all are always in our prayers everyday, all day.
Love that you are home,
Celia, Dave, Brian and Marie
Myles!
You're a champion!! WOW I'm so glad you are at home, that is GREAT!!
CHAMPION Quote:
“Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: A desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.”
– Muhammad Ali
Keep being the fighter Myles! and you too Sherry!!

Myles (AND Sherry)...
I've been watching your progress daily (the ups and downs) and am so, so happy for your whole family!
Myles, with all that you have overcome in your short life, I feel in my heart that you must be an extra special young man.
That beautiful smile of yours just lights up a room! So if you get to feeling down, just look in the mirror, and smile...
Welcome back to Idaho and best wishes while you recover at home.
