We made it home Sat. morning and it was the best feeling. We were practically running out the hospital room door while waiting for the dr. to clear us. Jerry started loading the car on Friday night so we wouldn't be delayed in the morning. It took him multiple trips with a cart to get all the stuff down to the parking garage. The first thing Gentry saw when we came in was the tree all decorated. He was so excited and noticed right away that we need to put some presents under the tree. He also had a cool, pirate ship cake waiting for him because everyone needs a cake when they  get home from the hospital! He has been very tired this weekend but seemed to sleep really well in his own bed. His energy level can only stay up for a short while before he is exhausted. Monday he sees his cardiologist and on Thursday he has chemo at Dr. Rosen's office. Wednesday I go to the OB for my checkup so between the 2 of us and our dr. appointments our calendar is filling up. Again, we want to thank everyone for all the prayers. We really do appreciate it and it helps lift our spirits. I will keep you posted this week on everything we have going on. 


The pirate cake was delicious! And the glow sticks Aunt Angie & Uncle Scott brought him in the hospital are always tons of fun to play with.

We were so happy to see your cars in the driveway this weekend! I know that being home finally was really what you all needed. We have a meal for you and something special for Gentry that we need to drop off sometime this week. I'll give you a call. Praying for your family...
